Dynoed..Don't know what to think.

[08StangGT_CS]

So I had my first Dyno run but I have no clue what to make of it. I'm running the canned KB tune till I can put some headers on it and get it Dyno tuned. Those torque numbers sure look a little dissapointing.

 

[don_w]

LOL... was that done in 3rd gear?

 

[Hawgman]

Honestly, that looks about like any other 4~5psi tune....uh... unless you are running more than that.

 

[08StangGT_CS]

Yeah, he kept doing it in third even though I asked him to do it in 4th. I am a Fuktard and don't know why but I knew from reading here that that's how it's supposed to be done. So by how much should my numbers decrease?

 

[travelers]

I would have asked him to stop and take my car off the dyno. He doesn't know what he's doing. And speed at the bottom of the graph?

I also had a shop tune the car in 3rd gear, but when we went for the numbers it was in 4th. the numbers in 3rd gear will be lower (I know it doesn't sound right but it is what it is) because of the multiplacation factor and the dyno's calibration. In 3rd the car was making 400 and 440...put it in 4th for the numbers went to 485 and 505.


OP what kind of dyno was it? Mustang? Dynojet?
Don't flame me if this is incorrect information but this is what I have personally seen on a Mustang Dyno.

Picture says dynojet. Did you ask the tuner/dyno operator to print you one with RPMs?

sorry, I didn't expand it and everything was crunched up

Why the hell would any shop make the pulls in 3rd?

 

[srt2stang725]

i was always under the impression that dyno pulls should be done in third, unless you have a 6 speed....in fact when I got my neon dynoed it was in third...can someone explain why 4th is better?

4th is the 1 to 1 gear in these cars.

 

[jsawyer]

My original kb was 417 rwhp and 400 tq. on 8 psi. Yours does seem low

 

[DKO]

4th is the 1 to 1 gear in these cars.

+1

+Another, I though most tuners had figured out how to do it by now.

 

[08StangGT_CS]

Ehh... I won't bother going back to that place. I'll just wait till I get my headers on so I can go to a reputable shop and get a dyno tune.

Good choice! So how do you like the way the car pulls?

 

[08StangGT_CS]

I like it. I know that the shifts could be much better though. I hope this can be fixed once I get it tuned up on a dyno but I got to wait a couple of months for that to happen. The crappy thing about it is that the local track was closed the same week that I had the blower installed. Kinda takes some fun out of it since I don't like to race on the streets.

Why the hell would any shop make the pulls in 3rd?

they were making 3rd gear pulls to minimize the heat build up from a 15 second pull from 2500 rpm to 6500 rpm in 4th gear. It was more like 7-8 seconds to make the pull in 3rd gear. I have seen some shops do it like that and I have seen some make every pull in 4th and heat soak the car.

I'll bet you your milk money that they did it because they didn't know how to do it in 4th gear.

lol, if it doesn't get stolen in the morning at school....They actually made the numbers pull in 4th gear. The way it was explained to me was they didn't want to heat soak the supercharger that is why it was done in 3rd.
