I for one, like to dyno tune, and see what the results are. But if he can't afford the tune + dyno, then street tune it. Just find a nice straight "street" to do a dozen third gear pulls.
whats good?

if you want to settle for a "street tune". i hate to keep plugging it up on here, but if your willing to bring the car down to sarasota, get back to me because we can do it. it would be a "street tune" but it should be pretty close to what you would get on a dyno. not sure, how much it would cost, it all depends on the time it takes, but we have experience with tuning microtechs. i run microtech on my car and we have a lot of experience with tuning rotaries.

He just got the car tuned at CFT in orlando. The car squeezed 217whp, 200lb.ft.tq @ 15psi on a mustang dyno. That is about 250whp.
I guess its time for a bigger turbo. He is thinking about the GT-40.

something is not right,
Theres no way in hell that car only put down that much and its street ported.
Stop being cheap and actually take it to someone who can tune it.I see a STOCK FD pull better rwhp than that.

from what i know, Rolo @ CFT is a VERY good microtech tuner and has a lot of experience with rotaries. I thought that the amount of hp he got was reasonable concidering the size of the turbo and the fact that he didnt push it beyond 15psi.

I seen a local montego blue FD,on a dynojet stock,run better than that.
I want to see if the other FD owners here had thiers dynoed..
It still dont seem right.
