Set an appointment at AWD Tuning this monday to get a dyno tune. I'm excited about this one.

I'm too impatient to wait Rob lol

unless you get back to me before then with the details I can still cancel the appointment...but I feel like I need an a/f correction to ease my mind

It is 650 for the reflash and dyno tune. They have a big *** fan during tuning to emulate 70mph winds or something fancy like that. Tunes are followed up with real world driving to make sure everything is solid before you leave their shop.

Only downsides are for each additional map, it is 75 dollars and they use a mustang dyno so my numbers will be low but it's the torque gains that I'm really interested in

My wheel saga is finally over.. Ended up having to replace my right rear hub because the studs wouldn't press back in.. That cost another 250 bucks.. Grand total for 2 new rear tires and the damn work that had to be done.... $950.00

I just did a dyno at AWD tuning and their Mustang reads VERY low as compared to a dynojet. In the end just make sure you get a baseline.

My G dyno'd at 300 whp there and 366 whp on a dynojet!

Mustang dyno is really the only way to go for a tune. Any tuner worth his weight will use one IMHO. Mustangs are load bearing, Dynojets are inertia. The mustang has a brake that resists, allowing you to tune at a steady rpm/load. You can hit places in the AFR map that would be impossible to hit with a dynojet. The dynojets work kind of like a bike with free wheel. The weight of the drum causes some resistance, but once its turning, there is no brake to cause resistance. The only thing you can really tune with a dynojet is WOT. Unless you drive WOT all the time, this could be a serious issue. The one time you have to drive up a serious grade on a hill (inducing serious load at low rpms), you could lean out really badly and tear something up. I've personally experienced the difference in the tuning capabilities between the two. There is no comparison. Just take your mustang numbers, and add 15%, and that will give you an idea about what a dynojet would read, and be happy that your tuner uses a dyno that will allow him to truly tune your car.
