Loss power all I changed was tires ?
Loss power all I changed was tires ? Maybe kind of a newb question but I'm down some whp car feels the same as before pulls hard like before. i got on the dyno and it says I'm down 35 whp. Wtf. I change from a 285/30/18 street tire to a 305/35/18 mt radial also they kept having issues with tach signal and dropping signal mid pulls I have msd 8.8 wires. Any incite would be appreciated thank you.
I made more power on a mustang dyno by 35 whp with street tires than on this dyno jet with drag radials. Now the main diff I noticed was the place that read lower went with tach signal and kept having crazy weird readings breakin up Etc I have heard that msd wires will do this but am not sure that's a myth or not. Weather conditions were way better with the dyno I made less power with 30* cooler had a big fan in front of it. This was also at the end of a dyno day as well and their wideband wasn't even correct.

True however the mustang dyno reads less than this dyno jet and I made more on the mustang dyno so I'm boggled. I know because three people I know of gained 4-6% power on the dyno jet from the mustang. I mean car pulls fine only thing I can think of is the tires or my plug wires causing their dyno to geek out. O well I think I'm gonna borrow some street tires and see if what everyone is saying is fact or fiction.

Some dynos can be manipulated to show higher or lower numbers...I'd say your mustang dyno shop is tryin to make their numbers comparible to a Dynojet, and in doing so, has too much correction added to make the numbers higher. I would trust your dynojet numbers...
The fluctuating torque numbers are probly just a bad tach signal reading...happens alot.
