Yeah, mustangs can be a bit unforgiving. Fully bolted?

edit: I'm going to assume not fully bolted unless that mustang is just a pure heartbreaker.

Mustangs are load bearing dynos whereas dynojets only have the option for inertia mode which most shops don't use. The mustang is a more accurate reading and gives a better tune though.

yeah he said there is like a 10% difference in the numbers, but they are better for tuning.

Good numbers. Now you need to check your plugs!!!! Well, at least soon.

To my understanding, that Mustang was not far off. Our cars are right around 245 on a dynojet stock.

I also see new tires in your near future!!!!

Eh...you're numbers are pretty accurate. A guy with a stock one did ~240whp at the dyno day a couple weeks back....and that's a dynojet.

If you want performance, and mileage out of a tire, RE11 is the way to go. I have direzzas, which aren't nearly as good as the RE11 in any form.

Hankooks have terrible wear. RE11s are known to last 30k miles. I know some one who used them on a DD, and autoXed them for 2 straight summers, then sold them to some one else.

Just know that when it comes to tires, you get what you pay for.

Another good tire is the Conti Extreme Contact DW. They have treated me very well in this rain and I am having trouble breaking them free. I second the Ewww for the Hankooks. The Malibu came from the factory with a set, and they were bad. In snow, rain, even dry pavement they were bad. I put DWS on there and much better in the nasty stuff.

That does seem low on torque there. I figured that you should be near 330 or more. Most Trifecta tunes have a lot of torque to them.

Darkside, want to go for a ride??? Trade for one in the G8, hehehe. I wanted one of those when I bought the SS, but I could not afford it

Find another day that you can bring it back out here. I redid some math and figured out the resistance issue. Flickering has to be a loose connection somewhere.

The G8 is a very nice car, but you're a little better off with the SS if you drive through winter.

Any Trifecta tuners in the area? I didn't want to spend the money on performance since its just a DD, but it sounds like good gains for minimal money. Also, how bad does the torque steer get? I feel like I'm going to sideswipe people as it is in stock form.

I do drive mine in winter, have Blizzaks for it. I grew up drive rwd cars, and my truck is there if it gets to bad. But even with the truck, i usually don't use 4wd.

Torque steer, no, these cars don't have any of that at all. hehehe. Yes, it is still there, and can be a little worse if you have the wrong tires.

I still offer you a ride if you want it, hehehe.

oh, and I do have a Simpson Racing car seat in the back, that is why I bought the 4dr.
