Making 380WHP with $635

For reference, my personal IX stock turbo, stock WGA also tapered exactly 50ft-lbs between 5500RPM and 7000RPM on a Mustang dyno.
Your chart goes from 336 ft-lbs to 286 ft-lbs (5500 to 7000).
My chart goes from 275 ft-lbs to 225 ft-lbs (5500 to 7000).
This is also inline with what everyone is saying, the dyno is reading about 60whp higher than a typical Mustang.

I'm interested. Did you guys log boost by chance? I would really like to see some data that validates the gains. Also, I might be willing to try the wastegate as well. I'd like to see a little more data though as money is tight. Does your car hold boost 100% or something? Maybe Casey can post some logs with timing and fuel removed so we can see.

Not to spark even more debate but I don't think anyone has noticed the letters "WC" by the torque and horsepower. "Weather Control" This could mean two things. This mustang has a Weather Station running or it's like BR where it had one at one point but it's turned off and the operator hasn't de-installed anything.
If the Weather Station is indeed running, getting the actual correction percentage that was done on this pull would give more data on the information in question.

I don't have the forge wastegate but I have the DIY external spring wastegate. All I can say is WOW! What a major difference that spring did to my car, and I am un-tuned. I only lose 1-2(sometimes 3) psi at 7k rpm.

We might have a winner.
What were the corrected numbers? Did you make any other pulls?

Yeah but no offense, it seemed like there were alot of really smart people in the thread like that Warrlthon guy or w/e that new alot about dynos. I know NOTHING about them or anything really on that sheet.
Wouldn't that "WC" thing be an obvious thing to look for?

These are corrected numbers.
A Mustang Dyno that has correction enabled will show the "WC" which his chart shows.
Either the correction is working WAY too much in his favor (the Dyno assumes it's very hot and humid even though it isn't) or there is some other problem with correction that is boosting his numbers.

Don't know if that matters at all or not? But before it corrected it I had around 380hp..not sure about the TQ. Thats all I can remember off the top of my head. I only have the "corrected" dyno sheets.

Yea it's a bit of a bummer that the Mustang doesn't print out the correction factors on the power charts. They can be printed out on another sheet that shows a bunch of other info as well. I just don't think anyone does it.
We don't use a weather station so I don't have to deal with it.
I've had a customer go to another local mustang dyno that does use weather correction and his car read 30whp lower on that day. He called me, obviously pissed and wondering where his 30whp went. I told him to swing by the shop and I'll strap er' down. Same day, same general location and temp and his 30whp was back and his hp was within 8whp of what it was 5 months before on our dyno. Imagine that.
Some people use weather correction for evil and some use it for good.
