That is on a DynoJet as you see. The numbers will be %10-%15 lower on your typical Mustang or DynoDynamics loaded dyno. The numbers mean little though quite frankly. You can see the gains between the runs which is what is really important when talking about tuning.

Thanks,

I honestly don't remember the temp differences. I forgot to add I had the ECU replaced because I suspected a whine (didn't get fixed btw) so that could be another factor.

The only thing about the Ark I liked was the exhaust note, but the drone, fitment, look, quality, having to drill holes, I did not like. Once I switched to the Berk, I could really feel a little extra power. I honestly felt like the stock intakes might have made more power, since the takeda's silicone couplers actually reduce the diameter of air as they fit through the holes where the stock was drawing air in from. Also the filter is jammed up against the bumper so half of it is blocked.

I just took the car autocrossing and the tune definitely made the car feel awesome to drive and the gains were noticeable, thanks Rob!

Well said.. Everyone seems to overlook what the purpose of the dyno is.

Oh, I fully understand the purpose of a dyno. But 300whp on a dynojet is suggesting more than 330 at the motor. Unless our cars only have 10% drivetrain loss. Also, dynojets are the only dyno that you can't mess with the numbers.
