Most mustangs read 10-12% lower than a dyno jet. HOWEVER, we will not know until it hits a dyno. regardless, good numbers.

We shall see. I'm not making any wild claims, or do I even car really. Just interested to see how much the momentum headers helped out

Yes... I understand that.... but what I'm saying I think that particular mustang dyno he was running on was reading high...

What was your WTQ? And do you have the dyno sheets you can post on here?

Good, make sure you get some kind of proof that it was tuned... Who knows, this sheisty shop might have just made up some numbers. Did they do the 5 different maps like valet mode, theft mode, that you can switch threw?

AlexRaymond19 04-03-2013 12:48 PM

Yes they did. I got a 93 TP tune, and 93 cat tune, valet, theft mode, and 91 tp tune. I only intend on using the cats to get a sticker

340ish.

I'm sorry to hear all of this is happening to you man, it's too bad you don't live closer to me or we could have tackled all this crap no problem, except for the tune (which I'm working on learning). Best of luck to you man.

Thanks for the good words man! Hope all is going well with you. Short term it sucks, but realistically its just money... As long as I learn something from the ordeal i guess its money well spent. It could be worse i suppose

Yeah, but that just isn't right brother.... I mean I can see a shop charging a couple hundred over from what you were expecting.... I mean it happens, sometimes they run into problems and the time they quoted goes up. But when your talking 3500.. that is straight up robbery.

AlexRaymond19 04-03-2013 01:08 PM

I just want to know why it takes 13 hours to install springs camber arms, and "setup" my suspension...

Huck 04-03-2013 01:35 PM

Yeah honestly I would try to take some Kind of legal action if they don't fix this situation to your satisfaction. They can't take your car and ten charge extortionist amounts of money and hold your car for ransom. I would threaten to go ballistic, call the authorities, call the news (cause they always love a good scam story), contact the BBB, call their corporate office, and then give them a bad rep online. Tell them that they are either cone rely dishonest or completely incompetent (ask which it is), and show them quotes from 4 or 5 other shops that are reasonable. Worst case scenario you could pay with a credit card and then dispute the charge.

That is actually the stock cat numbers. They said it made more HP with the stock cats by 2whp... I don't really know how that is possible... First impressions, it felt slow. I don;t know if its because its a **** ton quieter and just feels slower or what. I put the TP map on, and it friggin screams now. Its like stupid fast. Is it okay to run the TP tune with the cats on?

Also, i am most definately taking it to another shop to verify dyno results and see if they can take a peak at the tune and see what the deal is with the test pipes not making more power.

AlexRaymond19 04-03-2013 05:13 PM

Also, i thought the tq and the hp had to cross at 5300?? Is that close enough, or is something fishy
