You need more timing. Who is doing the tuning? What kind of software? SCT?

James @ RWTD is did the tune. This tune was for a predator.

Re: Tuning Problems.

Is it a mail order tune or did you go put it in the rollers at his place?

yeah it should be.


Does the car run good. No misses or odd driviability issues. How many miles are on the car? How many miles on the catted x-pipe?
It would help if you knew the difference in the other car that made 390/417

This was a mail order tune. I have tried to get RWTD to send thier local tuner guy to the dyno with me (he lives in the same city), but I can't get any response from them on that. That's what is so frustrating about this. If I could get the local tuner guy to come tweak it, I think we could figure this out. But I have a hard enough time getting my tuner on the phone to really answer some questions and do some real analysis.

The x pipe has probably 35000 miles on it.

The car runs great! If I am not careful, it will get sideways at 45 MPH when the boost kicks in. It's just not putting up the numbers that it should.

Re: Tuning Problems.

I agree with what everyone else said about the fuel issues but I read on quite a bit of cars that was using a tr6 plug and having problems and really liked changing the plug to fords plug or the ngk bre7f or whatever its called. This was all on gt's and the cobra guys seem to like the tr6 more.

If that is the case, then the tuner has some explaining to do as to why they are quoting horsepower at a loading other than the weight of the car.
Basiacally what Bob is referring to is that, regardless of model, all dyno's will give different readings. My car has been on 3 different dynos and all gave different results (one of them almost 14rwhp different with no change in the car)
