Low dyno numbers, would like some opinions
 

Hi everyone I recently got my 370 uprev tuned and was quite dissapointed at the numbers(will post dyno sheet in a bit). My 370 is N/A with Stillen catback exhaust, Stillen gen3 cai, and Motordyne art pipes. With these mods I expected to definitely be over the 300 whp mark. But with the tune I ended up at 280 whp, and before the tune it was only at 264. I cant imagine why the number would be so low. Tuning was done on a dynapack dyno.

Who did your tune and what software?

Jtune performance was the shop that tuned my car and they used the uprev software to tune it. Pretty sure it wasnt the shop though considering I did get 14 whp from the tune.

What was your stock baseline?

Probably a mustang dyno

It was a dynapack which reads high, or low, and everything in between.

I didnt do a stock baseline without any mods but the baseline before the tune was 267.2 and after. it was 281.4 whp

Im having trouble uploading a picture of the dyno sheet.

Test it on a dynojet. Those dynos are consistent

Ill ave to find one, but with what i currently have on the car my number should definetly not be this low right ?

16 hp from a tune seems pretty good whats the problem? Go somewhere else and have a dyno run done if you really care about having a sheet with a bigger number on it. Every single dyno will read differently. Some read lower or higher than others. Some unscrupulous shop owners have even been known to change correction factors so their dynos read higher so more people will come their (help inflate their egos I guess). The most important thing is you got an apples to apples comparison before and after on the same dyno.

If you are just worried about if being something wrong with the car (which I doubt), you'll have to get it dynoed elsewhere.

To be honest that would be my biggest concern is that some part of my car isnt functioning properly and that is causing the low numbers.

Your tuner has most likely done other 370s right? Ask him if those numbers are typical? He'll know if thats normal for his dyno or not. We unfortunately wont.

heres the dyno sheet

That torque curve is pretty ugly, I'd agree with going to get another dynode elsewhere

What did they tune your AFR to? And cat's replaced with test pipes yields about the most gains.
I know everyone can't run them; also Dyno numbers in 4th gear on an A/T will definitely read lower than 1:1 5th,,, the M/T cars have 1.27:1 4th gear to a 1.41ratio 4th in the A/T...so not as much loss on the M/T's.
Only thing is,some tuners won't tune 5th because of the 170+mph speeds.

This is my numbers on a Dynojet w/ K&N drop-in's only.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4469c732d4.jpg
The torque % difference between the 2 gears was quite a bit...speed limiter kicked in @156

Ill definitely have to contact the tuner and see what he thinks about my numbers and if maybe they`re dyno just runs low numbers. might have to do a run or two on a dynojet if I am not satisfied.

That's a local speed-shop that has a Dynojet & an educated operator...my AFR was rich@12.2'ish.
When I got tuned w/UpRev,it was set to 13:1 at wot

I'm on the same boat, I have pretty much same set up on my 15 nismo z now my biggest concern is if there is something goes wrong with my z. I made 299whp/265ft.lb on a dynapack and and one of my buddy got 336whp which also is pretty much same set up on a dynapack but different store. Since I finished tuning session the tuner no longer reply my email like and I already send email over three times. Now I have to drive almost 180km to find a shop which have dynojet. so I'm very looking forward that you get a good number in a different dyno machine that could pretty much fix my prob either.

Your 15' Nismo is more than likely equipped with a 3.92:1 diff ratio.
Thus making it less effort on the engine to twist it up...Dyno numbers are lower on lower geared Diffs than taller gears.

Unsure if it would be 37whp difference though.

it's very Attractive to have high Dyno HP #'s, but their primary function is to tune your vehicle,,,So many variables come into play with the magic # that tops the screen. As it calculates HP through torque,rpm's,time,etc...
Dyno's can be calibrated to throw large or small numbers-but using the same one to tune your car after mods will help you determine gains/losses better than switching to another Dyno.

re: tune
 

FWIW, I think there's something wrong, particularly with the torque curve as there's no way it should be that peaky. Although I've never used them, my reference point for best tune is Seb at Specialty Z. I recall that they were getting around 310 RWHP Uprev tune on NA 370s with CAI and Catback. I don't remember their torque numbers. In any case, I was delighted when I got 307 HP and 233 Ft-Lbs on a Mustang dyno from my tuner (Keith at AWD Tuning in DFW).
