Stainless Power Headers , Install

[cbrtrx]

Just a note ... They used a new 02 sensor but it shows 12.8 while my AFR gauge on the dash was reading 11.8 ... Every pull it was a full point different between the two readings .. They also printed it out in the MPH scale , I should have had them print it out in the RPM scale ..Doesn't really matter seeing I was just looking for peak numbers anyway .. It just makes the chart look funny printed in MPH mode ..On my bike dyno I always do RPM scale ..

They had done one other 2015 Mustang back in 3/15 and it was done in 5th gear , it made 432 HP .. So I checked the data on that run and it was 73 Deg and low humidity .. My run as you can see was in the mid 90s and higher Humidity ..

That is normal at powertech, their tail pipe sniffer reads about 1 point leaner, thats pretty common for most tail pipe sniffers. 11.8 for your car is normal.

Did you baseline the car in stock form on that dyno?

No ... I just did the runs with headers and CAI .. I didn't feel a need to dyno the car before because it was running so damn good with just a tune and CAI it ran 11.96 @ 116 .. The dyno was just to find out why it slowed down with the headers ..

This dyno shop has a bunch of nice guys working there , they were very helpful and got me in twice with no notice .. I will be using them again with the other tunes I have to test ..

Only asking because that seems a touch low for the mods you have, but it could've been the heat I guess. All about the ET's anyway!

did you datalog the tune so that you can compare them?

No I did not ... I can't get the data log thing working ...Yet ...I down loaded the live wire for SCT but it doesn't want to work on my lap top ..:shrug:

What version of Windows are you running? I had to upgrade from Vista to Win7 to get it to work.

This is how I've been doing datalogs:

It's a little different than having the tuner hooked up to the car and the laptop at the same time...worked for me. I'm assuming all your drivers are correct, and you don't have an issue loading the email tunes onto the SCT?

As far as I know it loads the tune files sct tune files ok .. I down loaded that data log program from SCT ... But when I open it I get a full page notice that the program is missing parts of the program ...So I uninstalled it and reloaded it again ... Same problem pops back up when I open the program ..

When I open livelink this is what I get .. Unable to open strategy list .. Then a window pops up and closes the live link program ..:frusty:

Call SCT during business hours. They can remote in to your computer and get it set up. They did that on mine to fix the drivers. You might have to wait on hold for a bit but it's worth the time. Download their support program that connects them ahead of time.

def need to log, comparing tunes is useless without being able to see what they are doing.

temp, fuel quality, ect, iat, that way you know what your comparing and seeing, let me know if you need help setting up logger

I say , just head back to track. You seem to have enough experience to notice the difference and figure out gains by comparing ET and realitive DA.
