We have heart breaker dynos up here. :(. I really might consider doing it after the clutch is properly broke in.

Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using the svtperformance.com mobile app

same thing here on long island at the shop I go to. A million hp cars and they leave all angry. shop I go to doesn't have a crazy high reading dyno and like I said, people leave disappointed. But the ones who leave angry are the ones who are getting tuned from "the internets best tuners" ( wont mention any shops names ) and are like, but my car made a million hp at so and so's dyno. It cant be, tuner X tuned my car. Then at the track, they don't run what the car should but have a million hp dyno sheet.

I get pissed too but I already know my car is soft. Many guys and tuners told me. I just have a soft car. And also the ones who get really pissed are the tvs guys. I have never seen a 750 780 rwhp tvs car at that shop and its been tuned by other people. so after owning my car for 16 years and seeing all this, I really cant judge a car 100% based on dyno numbers.

OP tracks his car regularly.

Cant wait to see what it does now!

PM me next time you go to Fontana... I'd like to see it run and hopefully bring my 18 as well.

Nice ride.

FYI, dynocoms are antonym to mustang dynos, they read high / give you happy numbers.

I am always one to take Dyno numbers with a grain of Salt. But, If it means in min the 700rwhp range, which with my mods I believe i should be in then good to go. The car is gonna spend plenty of time getting beat up at the drag strip so it'll all work out.

Congrats. With those numbers and your setup you should be plenty in the 9s.
