Last week i had the Firehawk tuned at APS Racing in Oklahoma City on their Mustang dyno. I let them know that i wanted it to be as drivable on the street as possible as it would be my DD for now. They did great, and it really doesn't buck unless your under 1,500 rpm and it still makes great power.

And here is the dyno sheet:

good numbers considering that Mustang dynos usually read lower than dynojets

The tuner estimated that it would be something like 500-510 on a dynojet

I think that seems a little low for a 6spd 10 bolt car.

You think 444 is low or 500-510 is low? remember, mustang dyno

444 even on a mustang dyno unless it was a hot humid day or its a real stingy mustang dyno. Track times will give you a better idea but with your setup it should be easily over 500 I would think

With a larger cam and a crappy tune it made 540rwhp on a dynojet. I decided that cam was WAY to big and opted for the one in it now.

This most resent tune, outside it was in the upper 70's and it was raining cats n dogs.

Resurrecting my thread since i've been away on military duties.

Can anyone give me some tips on what i should do in order to get these numbers up to where they should be? I do feel like this is way lower than this setup should be making. As soon as i return home I plan to get a 12 bolt or 9 inch rear as well...don't like the stock 10 bolt.

If you want to see what it does in good weather just give us a call. I will datalog it in good air and see what if anything we can do to pick it up any more.

aftermarket rear ends will eat up a little power....take it to the track, dyno numbers are just numbers...good for reference if you're observing before & after a certain mod AND (most importantly) if you're using the same dyno. If you drive it well and run mid 12's, THEN i'd say there's a problem
