Update: Im going out to the shop again saturday morning to get the injectors installed and a updated tune…and Im going to be there when he puts it on the dyno… we had a in depth discussion today about the numbers. He bought the new mustang dyno used from a different shop a few weeks ago…well last night he looked at the software and load settings (I think thats what he said) and out of the 5 settings, (5 being the highest rating) it was on 3. So he reset and calibrated it back to 1 so saturday afternoon I should have 100% accurate numbers. his email… “This Saturday is fine. Next Saturday we are going racing. let me no what time if good for you shouldn’t take more then an hr. we can drop the idle but it might start surging with that size cam. updated my dyno comp to windows XP and i had to reinstall my dyno software. there is a box from 1 to 5 that has to do with the hp calculation. the previous owner had it set on 3 where it should be set at 1. They told me when people try and sell work they dyno there cars low and then up that box and give them some magic #s which isent wright to do.” so we will see. As long as it makes over 400 I will be happy.
