Finally got my car dyno'd

[3xBlackCobra]

Was nice weather here yesterday so I decided to get my baseline numbers before I change pulleys and get a dyno tune. Car only has RIA and a custom high flow straight pipe (cat delete), yet managed 434rwhp. Pretty happy about that, as I was only expecting around 410-420rwhp, max.

Pretty confident I can eclipse 500hp with the pulley/tune mods now

Nice numbers. STD or SAE?

What pulley/tune mods are you going with? Eclipsing 500rwhp (SAE) with an unported Eaton, 93 octane fuel and no nitrous is going to be a challenge.

Good numbers. What shop did you take it to? I plan on taking mine to VMP after I get it together

That's a good question. I honestly didn't think to ask about the dyno (STD/SAE). They are supposed to email me the dyno report but I've yet to receive it (this was done on a mobile dyno at the Street Car Takeover event in Orlando).

The exhaust was done at Superior Muffler and Performance. Haven't done the pulley/tune yet, but I also plan on taking it to VMP. I met those guys over the weekend and they were really good about answering all my questions. They have a guy who "specializes" in cobras, according to the people I talked to

VMP is damn good at tuning mustangs.

Can you post your dyno report here when you get it?

 

[R.D.P.]

You're car is very unlikely to dyno 434rwhp at VMP with the stock pulley, or hit 500rwhp with the stock unported blower.

NP. I'm just hoping they remember to send it

You're probably right. I was pretty shocked by that number. Like I said, I figured I'd get 420 at the very max. I'm sure the cool, dry weather helped a little though

Congats, iirc that is exactly 1 HP more than what my car made with only intake and exhaust. Gained 59 whp from showroom stock, which was amazing to me.

Why is that? Does their dyno read low?

Not saying that - I'm saying 434 on stock pulley and 500 on an unported blower is pretty far outside of the norm for these cars.
