Default what is an average dyno???

What will a factory car put down????? One with factory plugs on 50k???? How about what should one with my setup dyno??? i am trying to find out how i rank.... i had a really shitty factory dyno of 175hp But I think it was because the plugs suck and the car really needs a tune up. I will know tomorow what my current setup will put down.

A factory A4 should put down 290-305rwhp. My A4 '00 Z28 dyno'd at 293rwhp. A M6 has less drivetrain loss so it'll dyno higher...somewhere around 300-310rwhp.

With your mods you should be around 330-340rwhp I'd say. Whoever told you that your car produced 175rwhp should be <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

Yep. Bone stock averages 285-295/305-315. With your mods averages should be 330-340/335-345. These are DYNOJET SAE numbers. Mustang dynos will be significantly lower....But not 100 HP low like your origingal??

I think one of the plugs was not firing quite well, the car almost seemed to hesitate at low rpm. but what should it get on a mustang dyno now?

On my 2000 SS A4... 318rwhp/332rwtq

On my 2002 WS6 M6... 335rwhp/353rwtq

The SS was bone stock down to the paper filter, and the WS6 had just a lid and muffler.

All of those numbers are Dynojet. Can anyone that has been on a Mustang dyno chime in and help this guy out?
