Dyno numbers

Those numbers are really good. I remember seeing a legend 6 speed with 205 whp and that was with chip, intake, exhaust, and 18's. Is yours 6 speed/auto?

Auto, unfortunately.
If I remember correctly, factory numbers are:
230hp @ 5800
206ft/lb @ 6100
at the flywheel... for the Type II

The crazy curve I think is because it downshifted... I dunno'.
And, yes, it's at the wheels... the only way to tell at the flywheel is to pull the motor or just add roughly 20% to those numbers.
I know, it seems weird. Both the guys running the dyno were quite surprised, as was I. My car is just a freak I think. The dyno was dead on with everyone else as well so I don't think it was off.

That was after driving for 2 hours straight... I was the first person of my group of friends to pull first. The engine was still pretty warm but oh well. I also gather that Mustang dynos calculate different than dynojet and are actually a little pessimistic on numbers... give less of a reading than what it really is. I don't really know though.

where exactly do you get a dyno test run? what should i look for in say... a phone book?

If you're going to call b.s. on me do it already, don't patronize me. I honestly don't care if you believe me. But it would entertain me if you called and asked them to pull up the numbers on a 1995 Legend that ran on 4/20.

ok... Westlake, LA would be a long drive for me seeing as how im in california.

read my question WORD for WORD! i was asking where I could get a dyno test, actually how i would find a shop that did them.

Ahh. Well, everyone else seemed to be in question so I was just waiting for someone to call b.s. on me.
I'm sure there's got to be at least a few dyno's in Cali. Call around to performance shops and ask if they know of any dynos you can go to... they should be able to help.

I think you should go and get a second run somewhere else and compare the results. Those numbers are way to high for a stock Auto TypeII engine. The highest I've ever seen a typeII dynoed was 198WHP on a 94 GS sedan, and it was modded.

Also how did they get 221lbs of torque. That's 15lbs more than factory specs.

Well aware of the differences.
As weird as it is and hard to believe, I have to bring up a point that will help me...
A guy w/ a 305 in his truck only put down 157hp & 211ft/lb.
My friend's B18C1 powered Civic put down 164hp with a Skunk2 intake manifold. The dyno was right where it should be on numbers.
No two dynos will ever give the same reading, no matter what. It's best to continue testing at the same place to get consistent readings, even if not precise, they will be accurate in progress from modifications.

I was honestly VERY surprised and didn't believe it myself until like 10 other cars all went behind me and were putting down numbers exactly like they should have. I probably wouldn't beleive me if I were y'all either, but hey... if you don't beleive me, take what I say with a grain of salt and go about your business.

Hey, don't worry about people saying that you're B.S. You're brave already on putting you dyno sheet here. Some people might just don't believe, but don't worry.

Well, my suggestion is, go to another dyno place, and possibly the one with Dynojet 248C, so at least we can see how it is.

I also dynoed my car twice, once at NOPI, and once at ACS Racing the one that you see there. Both shows similar graph, but different peak HP, but at least the curve is similar.

Your curve is kinda weird, sorry to say that, but don't take it personally OK.

Well, if I insulted you in any way, I apologize. Thanks.

Those numbers are impressive! I do hope you try another dyno too. I know the results won't be the same but they should be in the same ball park.

What gear did you do this run in. I believe 3rd is as near to a 1 to 1 ratio as possible. If you were running in a lower gear the inflated numbers would be the result of torque manipulation...ie because of the gearing the car is showing more HP than it really has. If you were in 3rd will you sell the engine?

Well I believe you! And thanks!

The dyno posting proves the high points in both the torque and HP curves are 4500+. Thanks for posting. We manual guys can keep running high RPM's!
Again, thanks and be true only to yourself!

all dyno runs are supposed to be in 3rd gear

how are they run on automatics then?

i wanna get a dyno sooo bad! how much do they cost normally? im curious to see how much wear is done on an engines thats almost 9 years old and has 191k miles on it.

autos run it in D3

Hey guys, I don't have pics of my dyno sheet, but I posted it a while ago, my numnbers were:

194 whp
178 ft lbs tq

I was in 4th gear at the time, from 3500-6500. We didn't do any runs in third, but if we had, I'm sure that my numbers would have been higher...
