3in exhaust ?
I got dyno tuned Saturday on a awd mustang dyno I put down 260hp and 305tq the guy that tuned me said that's all he could make out of it cause it wouldn't flow any more but if I had a full 3in exhaust I would be around 300hp or more.So should I get an exhaust or just get another tun? I have an 09 ss with full bolt ons

Wow, is the tuner on here? What are you tuned at boost wise? Anymore info would be helpful. But that's stock hp, with more torque.
Edit I just read you were full bolt ons, something is wrong. You should have more power.

Mustang dyno's are not the same as a dynojet. Ask him what a LS1 bolt on m6 or a4 puts down to the wheels since I know what mine will do on a dynojet I can give you idea at the dirrerence. I know the Mustang dyno my friend used when he got his car tuned was much less forgiving the the dynojet my car was on.

the best I was able to muster out on an awd mustang was 295whp/325wtrq on 93 octane with a few of the bigger gaining bolt-ons.
you're absolutely right as far as him needing a new tuner though..
as long as you do things correctly by datalogging the snot out of the car before you throw in the towel and call your car "tuned" (and I don't mean 2 datalogs part throttle cruising around for 20 minutes), Trifecta can be a VERY viable option. I would just keep the data cable if I were you so your setup can be tweaked at any time, especially if you ever plan on making any changes down the road. Plus the Traxis cable (aka Trifecta cable) can be used in many other different applications aside from just loading Trifecta tune files..

I feel for you
Some people that pick up hptuners call them self's tuners. This is the major problem with HPT. Any swinging dick with 600 bucks and a laptop can call them self a tuner and charge soemone 450 dollars for a **** ass tune.

Ouch. I'd be pretty upset as well. Those results are pretty low.
^This. I bought HP Tuners for myself so I could tune my own car when I made modifications to it. If I messed up, it was my car that took the punishment and it was my fault for being dumb. Now, after lots and lots of practice and reading and studying, I STILL am learning and wouldn't consider going out and calling myself a "professional tuner". I'll tune an LNF or LS motor for friends and those who ask, but I wouldn't advertise myself like that. Or even charge that much
OP, I might give the tuner the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe he missed something? Get in contact with him and start asking questions.
