Real life dyno
So I had my car at FarnbacherLoles for a little preseason work. Had the car aligned, fresh cups mounted, brakes flushed, and a baseline dyno done.
My car has a tubi exhaust, fabspeed headers, and a PES flash. On a mustang awd dyno my car put down around 466-476 awd hp, a stock tt puts down about 385hp on a mustang dyno. My tq was around the same, I'll try and scan and post a graph tomorrow. By my calculation that is anywhere from 545-580hp at the crank ,depending on your correction.
Can't say enough about FarnbacherLoles, total first class operation, treated like a king while you're there.

Mine has the PES custom flash, but they also have a great FL custom flash that they can hook you up with at a good price I'm sure. I wanted to dyno my car where the dyno operator didn't have a dog in the fight in order to get an unbiased result.

I wanna say 4000-ish, but I'll throw it up later.
Here it is, their printer was out of ink, so it's all in yellow, I should have a better copy later.

Yeah that's prolly right, they told me mustang, but I guess it could be a DD, I think the two are about the same. This is the same one they use to check their cup cars, so I guess it's ok, they also have a conventional engine dyno, but I have no interest in pulling my motor.....at this time!

Hey Chris - totally agree, FarnbacherLoles is the best. Total class operation.
I know you had your car aligned there before (I've done same). You think it is a good idea to get that alignment done annually? I was planning on taking it in for a flush of the Castrol SRF and a general tech inspection but maybe an alignment check is also a good idea. Thoughts?

Without a doubt, do it annually. With our GMG setups, literally takes just a few moments, mine was way off on the LR and RF, prolly from nasty winter chuckholes. I would only have FL do your car's alignment.
btw, how'd the tubi workout?
