The thanks goes Tob for his willingness to Sticky the thread and any other users who add their results.

Your thoughts are spot-on. Both the elevation and gas did = less horsepower. As I understood the explanation provided by the experts at RWR, the SAE numbers you pointed out are "correction factors" used to "normalize" dyno results to sea level. In other words, the horsepower each car actually put down AT THEIR RESPECTIVE ELEVATIONS was (642 / 1.26) = 509 for mine and (582 / 1.05) = 554 for Softballer's. If both were at sea level, they should put down the "corrected" 642 and 582, respectively.

I've seen numerous high altitude dyno charts and they always seem to have an overly generous SAE correction factor for forced induction motors and show numbers that are usually well above what would be accomplished at lower elevations with a typical 2 to 5% correction factor. I think it's because they are using the same correction factor for naturally aspirated motors and forced induction motors. The forced induction motors don't seem to suffer to the same degree as a naturally aspirated motor, so they usually show higher than average dyno numbers. This is especially true with a turbocharged motor.

My mods are in my signature. The last 2 pulls are utilizing 100 octane fuel. 682hp was created using John Lund's 91 octane tune. 697hp was created using John Lund's 100 octane tune.

ABSOLUTELY Bone stock
STOCK_zpsb85ec472.jpg


FRPP Dual TB, 15% IW lower, JLT 127 CF Intake w/ blue filter, NGK plugs, AR 2" into 3.5" longtubes into 3.5" O/R H into SW cat-back and Lund mail order 93 tune
423DYNO_zps2fc2d09d.jpg


423DYNO2_zps3efc912d.jpg


Just finished installing and will be on the Dyno once the tune is properly adjusted... ID 1300, NGK TR7's, 2.396 upper, Thump Tensioner, Metco Idler, Gates Blue belt, Competition Dual BAP and Spec P trim Clutch...

Which is basically a Revan Racing 800/800 kit except bigger headers/ mid pipe and a 15% lower instead of a 10%... Going to be disappointed if somehow under 800/800.... Since with my bigger lower and exhaust should be higher. We shall see.
Ideally wanting to be at 825rwhp with this setup (to be able to get fender wings that say 900 HP due to ~10.5% drive train loss which is what I personally had stock from factory ratings)

Time will tell

VMP STAGE 4 including VMP 67mm TB, 123mm JLT CAI, 2.40 pulley - VMP 93 Octane Tune (Sunoco Ultra), 4.10 Gears but with tall 305 MT DR's.
Results were : 623RWHP / 626RWTQ.
Needless to say I was quite disappointed in these results.
This was on a 20+ Year Mustang Race Shop dynonometer where I've pulled various cars since 1999 as did many of my fellow Ford car club members.
I never base lined my car.

Second dyno graph was a 2 weeks later. Feeling curious I added a JBA Catted X-Pipe ...DITCHED the VMP TUNE .
The Mustang Race shop mapped out & installed a custom shop tune. Smoother curve - higher #'s but still a bit disappointed.
Results were : 646RWHP / 656 RWTQ.

Some years ago my friend's '08 pulled 556rwhp at this shop with mods. A week before my 2nd dyno graph he was preparing for the track.
He had the shop install 1 size smaller pulley + 4.10 rear gears with the same 305 MT DR's. With the pulley and new gears he pulled 574RWHP (+18) and gained 31rwtq. So...I cannot point my finger at the 4.10's as a big factor in my dyno results.

My mods in signature. Having trouble uploading pic. I'll try again later. I went from 780rwtq and 742rwhp to 874rwtq and 827rwhp. Changed intake, added upper pulley, and running race gas now. Lund tuned, so I'm pretty confident it's not gonna blow. I'll be going E85 in February to lower temps and add piece of mind lol

So are all these tunes from Lund mail order? I thought you always had to be on the dyno to get the best and more importantly, safest tune? Has there ever been any issues as I'm sure this voids the Ford warranty so I wouldn't want to blow my new car up by doing this.

I'm paying for 662hp and 631 ftlbs of torque, should I/we not get that off the show room floor? Stock, as I drive off??

If the power advertised by Ford is at the crank, then ok, but is it?? Do we lose that much power to the rear wheels??

Please explain.
