Default Numbers seem a bit low to me. What do you guys think? Update!

I finally got my car tuned. It was tuned at West Bend Dyno. They use a mustang dyno. My car has mods in sig. They called and told me it made 380whp/340wtq. Does that seem on par with my mods? I was thinking closer to 400whp.

380 on a Mustang dyno is probably close to 420 on a dynojet. Those #'s seem pretty good for a stalled & geared auto.

380rwhp on a mustang dyno with unported heads is decently stout

Do you know if the converter was locked or unlocked? Most likely locked, but if it was unlocked that it really stout. Take it to the track. Dynos are tools and when was the last time you raced a ratchet?

I have no idea if it was locked or not. I can ask when I pick the car up. I'm not a big dyno number guy. I just wanted better numbers. lol. Maybe I'm used to seeing dyno jet numbers. The track is were it matters!

I wouldn't get too worried, 380 through a big stall on a mustang dyno is a pretty healthy number to me. I would expect that car to run pretty hard at the track.

Thanks. I'm a track guy. I'm looking to hit mid 11's or better. Well that's my goal anyways.

stalls eat up power, and every dyno is different.

Damn. Never seen that before. lol
Thanks. Now I have more things to read on here!!

The car pulls alot harder now with the cam and stock 243's. Next up is to have A.I. port the heads, ud pulley, and get a true dual exhaust.

Update: Car made 402whp/388 wtq on the same dyno. New mods are Tsp 1 7/8 headers with Tsp y pipe and a fast 92/92. Now the car seems to pull much better!

Good numbers. I always find it odd when people chase numbers with a dynojet. Tune it reliably and race it. A dyno is a tool that allows you to stay out of tickets LOL

So 22 hp gain on the same dyno? I take it you had stock headers, stock y-pipe, and a LS6 intake before then?

Mid 11s should be reasonable with a little seat time
Buddy of mine has a similar setup with a little smaller cam and stall and runs 11.6 er so
