All, I understand this is a sore subject for some on Wicked Stangs Mustang Community. I like to help clear stuff up and stop all the bickering of DYNO WARS that go on our forums. Unfortunately a lot of people care about the numbers. If you go out and spend a lot of money on parts and installation, you want to know if it was worth it. Most people get away from the fact that a dyno really serves for tuning and diagnostic purposes only. If you make a change, you want to know what that change did to your car, no matter how a dyno is calibrated any dyno will give you that information. The problem is that some people care TOO much about the end number.
The best thing you should do to elevate the DYNO WARS on here is to make sure wherever you go that they do a baseline run of your car. Then tell them to tune it, that way you can see what GAINS you got with your car. Some tuners will give you a hard time. Do not take no for an answer..... Actually viewing that you picked up [X] amount of power/torque at [X] rpm over your old combo shows what your money did for you. I like to take my car to the same exact dyno each time I do a mod that way I know if it increase or not.
The result of good tuning and dyno use is a fast time slip at the track, not a print out of what could be magic numbers.
All dyno and tuners are not created equal. Some tune conservative and some tune aggressive they will all tune to your liking if you ask them.
Please do not bash anyone on here for the way they tune. If your going to recommend someone. Do just that. If someone went somewhere that is not to your liking please do not bash that company. Let that person know your recommendation.
Remember we have lots of member that have been to some of the below shops and can fill you in on them...
What I like to do is go out and talk to them for yourself and get to know your tuner.
