I just got back from this mornings dyno runs. I took the GT for a baseling run before I start modifying it and ran the Mach1 to see how it was running. I hadn't dyno'd the mach since Sep last year.

For the GT w/ K&N filter:

222 rwhp / 222 rwtq

I was really happy with those numbers. I was expecting it to be a little less, around 210-215 range since its an automatic.

For the Mach1 w/ SLP shorty headers, magnaflow catted x-pipe and CB, and C&L CAI:

302 rwhp / 322 rwtq

I've got mixed feelings about the Mach1 runs. The first run was done without the Diablopredator and I was really happy with the numbers, the bad part was that it ran way too lean. The A/F was like 13.8 - 14.3, which I kind expected it to do, but not that high. We did 3 more runs with the Diablo and just kept dumping fuel into it, finally got the A/F curve down to 12.5 - 13.4 ish range, but its not a nice flat even tracing. It looked like a Fn rollercoaster. Next week I'm going to go back to the shop and rent the Dyno room and bang on the mach for a while and tweak it a bit better. I'm also going to switch to Bassani Mid-length headers, x-pipe and CB and put the Magnaflow x and cb on the GT (I'm kicking myself for going with Shorty headers).

Final numbers on the Mach1 w/ diablo:

300 rwhp / 320 rwtq (after 4 runs with around 10 mins inbetween pulls).

I'll probably get a wideband 02 sensor for the mach as well, for peace of mind. The shop emailed me the Dyno sheets, but not in a format that I can use or open. So, hopefully he'll send them to me again soon in a format that I can use.

Nice numbers! I had the same issue with the Predator and ditched it and got a custom tune loaded into my ECU...When they first loaded it to my car it went way lean and once they got the A/F fixed the predator wasn't allowing my car to produce any power after 5,800rpms...the power was dropping off a cliff.

How is the low end power in your car? Mine does not exist before 3,500rpms. I guess that's a common problem when adding catback and mid pipe, but I'm getting ready to install Pauls High Performance Intake Spacer to maybe get a little low end torque back....LOTS of people on the registry have done this mod and say it may only give you 4 rwhp & rwtq peak numbers, but it will give you added power throughout the RPM range.

You will for see some gains from the mid-length headers vs shorty's....that will be bad azz.

Damn, those numbers sound soooo horrible to me from a GT. I remember back in the day when i had no power... lol. Good numbers for tha mach though

Actually, I'm not sure atm on the low end power band. When we were making the dyno runs, I was focused on peak power/torque and A/F ratio. The A/F was so bad that the runs we made after the initial were to bring it down to a safer driving range. Unfortunately, the dyno shop emailed me the results in a format I couldn't use/read, so now I have to go back tomorrow and get them to print out the sheets. I was wanting to study and post the results lastnight, just wasn't able to. I'll have to check into the intake spacer, I don't doubt it'll be a huge help.
