Dynoed my NA Z over the weekend:
Ended up with 259hp and 247tq. I only did two runs, and these #'s are from the 2nd run. These cars have a really flat curve...
Runs done in 5th gear.
Here are my mods:
JWT Pop charger
Crawford Plenum
UR pullies
Kinetix test pipes
Greddy Evo II exhaust
Pretty good #'s for not having headers, cams or ECU reflash I must say.
Oh, and I should mention that my Z is a 2003 Performace edition, #2363 off the assembly line...she's one of the 1st batch, but running strong.

Z car club of Washington had a dyno day up in Marysville. It was 3 runs for $55. I only did 2 since I wasn't tuning or anything. There were some nice Z's there...a couple 300's were pumping over 400hp to the wheels.

Did you get any a/f #'s? Also do you have all 3 pullies or just the crank pulley? We have very similar mods, except I only have a crank pulley and I have an ecu, Im at 262 whp 252 ft lbs, if your a/f is way off, I highly recommend a reflash it did 10 whp for me....was this a dynojet ?

Runs in 5th gear (I think I stated that)
And I've never reset my ECU...I've been thinking about the TS reflash for quite some time...now I have a baseline, so I imagine now's the time to do it.

We have very similiar set-ups, you have slighlty more power than me before the tune but you have 2 extra pullies. I suggest you get a dyno with a/f taken - then decide if you need a reflash or not. Your ecu may have taken the mods well, every car is different. The worst off your a/f is the better the gains, I see guys reflash when they have decent a/f's then they wonder why they spent $600 on 3 whp lol...

I don't mean to jack your thread, but does anyone know what 221whp on a mustang dyno equates to on a dynojet? I just had mine dynoed with borla,pop,crank pulley, and aam spacer. Oh, and it's an AT5.

259/247 <-- Good #'s, would've been very close to my guess for the upgrades you've got. Good choices on bang for buck mods. You're at a nice NA peak w/o having the ECU tune.
IMO, headers won't show any significant gains at this point without cams. I second Alberto's opinion on getting a A/F plotted and tune with a flash (if needed).

So how does one get an A/F plotted? Is that also on a dyno? These guys didn't even ask me to...so I'm not sure if they don't know what they're doing, or were just trying to get people thru as quick as possible.
I keep going back and forth with the TS reflash, I've had the form filled out on my desk for over 3 months. If it'll give me ~10hp, I'd jump on it...but I guess without that AF graph, I won't know...

got the ecu, I saw 10 whp 12 ft lbs, because my car was so out of tune. Im now at 13.1 a/f all the way across the board. Re-dyno your car, post the results and we can help you decide if an ecu would be worth your time/money....

I imagine another dyno is a heck of alot cheaper than the reflash...I'll do the wideband next time. I wonder why they didn't do it this time...hmmm...seems simple enough. I'll look at my dyno sheet again and see if there's any readings anywhere.
As for the greddy evo II and the butt dyno...I'd have to say yeah...I felt it. But then again I think I've felt every mod. I think that's more a head game than anything else.
