Too high. I did a couple runs and got it up to 154hp with the dump open. Way less than I was expecting. I don’t know if my tune is that bad or if the newly installed used mustang dyno is to blame.

Fun fact. I gained 8hp with the dump open vs running through the stock exhaust.

Wow that's way too low given what the engine should be at. That's 42% drive train loss

Yea, Im not sure what to think. He ran a few turbo powered guys as well as LS1 guys a week earlier and they came in a bit low too, but im even lower. Then guys joke that Mustangs read low, so I really dont know.

Double checked. 398 on a dynojet, 355 on a mustang. Similar conditions. That's a big difference.

Yep. I'd say you would pick up 50-60 if you used a DJ at sea level.


Obviously these are meaningless numbers. Truck still making the same power. Maybe 5-10 of that would be from elevation

I guess the only real way to tell how powerful or fast this truck is to get some 1/4 mile passes in. It definitely feels quick, but it feels like it could still be quicker too.

Did the graph show the clutch slipping at all? What gear did you dyno in? What were the air/fuel?

Pretty sure the clutch is t an issue. It’s a new centerline stage 2. A/F readings showed between 11.5 to 12.5 in the upper RPM’s. Which makes me think I can lean up a bit. How far on NA I’m not certain.

Dynojet is high, Mustang is closer to reality IMO. Mustang and Dyno Dynamics are pretty close to each other on my cars.

Update:

Been playing with the truck every so often. Picked up another set of identical Montero wheels for cheap at the junk yard but in 31" and without flat spots (that I currently have). I used my new Dewalt cordless impact. Soooo nice and easy!

Here is a shot of the 30's on the rear that ive been running and the newer 31's installed up front as well as lying on my driveway.

All done.

Truck rides so much smoother down the road now. No egg shaped tires and slightly less aggressive tread. Driving seems more enjoyable.

Also my friend who dyno'd my truck came back to me and said he messed up the dyno pull for me by not setting things up properly in the computer. Im hoping i can hook back up in the future, but he didn't make any promises.

That thing is all sorts impractical. Why the Isuzu axle vs Mitsubishi? Surprised he can register that thing in Commifornia.
