Finally dyno results
I had my car dynoed today and I was happy with the results
406rwhp/386rwtq temp was around 88 degrees and the altitude 1174 ft
I never baselined my car stock so not sure of the total gains vs stock but from what I've seen my mods did a decent job increasing both hp and Tq
I'm really liking this combo and the BlowByRacing tune is spot on. A/F was around 12:4
I have 3.73 gear and 6speed manual and all pulls were done in 5th gear

Wait a minute, are you not the one who posted this just a few days ago?
let me clear a few things up for ya.I dont care about numbers period at this level of mods.I'm not spending money on dyno pulls to find out I've gained 3 or4 hp from one tune to the next.
I like the idea of having a couple different tunes I can run.If I supercharged or put a turbo on my car I would want to dyno for sure.
what is this obsession with numbers on a car with bolt on's? I realize there are people who would like to see numbers to help them decide on a combo/tune from a certain shop and thats cool.

and I still dont care about numbers at this level this was done for the masses
just took advantage of a cool offer to dyno my car.these cars respond well to exhaust/intake mods and the tune just ties it all togeather.

I wouldn't call 88 degrees hot weather It's better than the high 90s/low 100s its been recently..hah
Maybe an offroad version would gain a few more hp without the cats? I hope so, because I just ordered it..hah

I'm so jealous, I've been dealing with
Gtr for 5 years and haven't made it
to one of their events...working weekends
sucks.
Wife gave me greenlight for a blower,
we'll see what happens but I'd hate
to throw my fuel economy down the
drain...

I decided not to do either one because of the hassle if you get caught.I bet your car will make some good power with your off road X and the sound will be sick

Oh didn't notice you were in CA.
Here in Mississippi they don't care about the offroad exhaust as long as you bring along a hot cousin.

yes Ford did a great job with this motor.It really shines in the upper rpm range 5-6K
I remember my old 5.0 even with heads,cam,intake would start signing off at about 5500rpm.
I've got 4000 miles on my car and I can tell It's breaking in nicely.
