The only validity in any dyno run is to compare it to previous runs on the same dyno with the same car. Look at my numbers - as HP goes, it was disappointing, but the increase with the GMPP and scoop is certainly real enough. I had the luxury of establishing a baseline on a dyno that I will use for all future mods. This will give direct comparisons.

If your car would have done 155 on the dyno I used, as compared to the 124 or so my 2.4 did stock, then that would be 30 HP for the cams, which is REALLY GOOD! Unfortunately, direct comparisons are difficult across different dynos, as you point out. Have you seen stick 2.4 numbers from the same dyno that you did 155 on? That would get closer to a direct comparison.

no I have not,far as I know the other place I dynoed had not seen a 2.4,that being said,at least I have something now to compare my car to,except the other 2.4 that put down 122 had more mods than I

I did 150 hp and 148 ft tq on a dynojet, bone stock with 87 octane on a hot day. if that helps with the comparison at all. then on a mustang dyno, my friend's SS/SC with stage two and a few extras put down 225 hp.

well you can't really compare numbers online with a mustang dyno as it is VERY adjustable, so results will be pretty different from each one. A dynojet is quite a bit more consistant from dyno to dyno.

I plan on going back to that exact one once i have the injectors and tune next week to see what difference from stock it makes. Then Ill add the intake, dyno, and then the exhaust and dyno. I want to show what our cars can do and also have the info for others.

good plan, it is always best to go back to the same dyno in comparable conditions

the dealership is trying to say that the second lobe is allowing the rockerroller to float causing the damage, i will know for sure about this on Tuesday or for the cams sake lets hope its just a bad lifter causing this,either way,I almost blew the top half of my engine for a third time.all I can say $$$$$ keeps on costing me,could have bought a turbo set up and a half by now.LOL
