Default 268 hp ????????????

just dynoed with mods in sig put down 268rwhp and 275rwtq and i swapped to 28lb injectors and they were at 92percent duty cycle at 5300 rpms wtf is up the guy said it was because my injectors were too small and i baught the car with the stall so when i drive it it flashes at 3200-3500 so i think its that size but he said he thinks its much bigger so he tols me to swap injectors and come back for the rest of he tune and he said he thinks ill make 315 this is on a mustang dyno but damn thats low

heres the graph he gave me i didint look at it till i left i was too dissapointed it just has hp and torque im gunna call and ask tomorrow about the afr

Well you would have continued to build power past 5300 I would assume. Knowing your AFR would help a lot. It was probably off a decent amount.

It should definitely be run to at least 6100... Something is definitely off though. Check the plugs/wires/fuel filter/clean MAF/ Make sure air filter is clean. Get the AF ratio numbers to us.

So, you had the 28# injectors in while it dynoed? If so you're injectors should be fine. I would say: 1. Did you install the cam yourself? If so did you line up the dots on the timing set? 2. What springs are you using? 3. Check for cracked plugs or a bad coil pack. 4. Dyno graph, A/F ratio, and more in depth info would help lots. The tuner should be able to help alot considering he's the one monitoring everything going on. I'm surprised he doesn't have any thoughts as to what might be wrong.

yes it has 28lb injectors i installed the cam myself i lined it up dot to dot and i have crane dual valve springs he said cause my injectors were too small and my stall is too big i dont know the exact size but it flashes at around 3200-3500 when driving so i assume its that size but he said its gotta be much bigger he expects 315 after i have bigger injectors

I just don't see how your injectors are maxed out. The mods/numbers in my sig are on stock injectors that ARE maxed out. That was on a dynojet but last time I checked there isn't a 30% difference in the two.

Christ something isn't right there. The graph almost bends over backwards. That is beyond Mt. Everest. Unless you have a 4800RPM stall lol...

I ran that cam "cam only" (+ supporting bolt ons) on my 99 C5 with stock injectors (26 lb) and they were only at like 72%... Who is doing the tuning for you?

315? Wow, he should have a whole lot higher expectations with your setup. I would get a second opinion from another knowledgeable tuner.
