Naw guys, the Owner before me had a few things installed belive it or not
He took a 1998 motor with a 1999 trans and put them in along with the OEM electronics, had some weird remote start system on it that use's the factory key button, there is a thread on here some where about it. Dyno'd it on Import dyno at Carma motorsports in Atlanta, they use it for BMW's and Imports as well

What dyno did you use? WHat upgrades did you do to get to 213 RWHP? Most 1st Gen SC400's actually dyno around 170 to 180 RWHP max at stock condition. And, if the car is not in exceptional condition, the car will dyno closer to 170. To go from that to 213 RWHP is 43 HP to 33 HP. It is real tough to get that much HP from headers and intake. So, I am curious as to your mods to even get to 213 HP.
If you really want power, you gotta go FI. It is cheaper to go SC like ScottURnot did. If you want crazy power, follow my plan. I think you can get about a 40-50% increase from Supercharging, and loads of torque for approx $5.5 k. For crazy TT power, you gotta build the engine, and make the custom turbo plumbing, expect $15-$20 k or more. If you want to go easy turbo power, go single, follow Steve Chumo, and spend about $5-$6 k.
Each person's thread has lots of details to follow up on...
My Stock Dyno with engine in excellent shape
My stock compression leakdown was between 175 and 185 per cylinder. So, it was in excellent condition for a 93 SSC400.

I have never seen a generous Mustang dyno. Most of the time the generous dyno is a DynoJet. Once owning a DynoJet I know this is true. Also in doing a magazine article several years ago with a comparison between the 2 manufactures this proved to be true on both high and low horsepower cars. But no matter what you do when dyno tuning, stick with the same dyno.

This is exactly what my Dyno guy told me as well. he said "If you are looking for a trophy dyno this is not it, this is real world numbers" He should know he has been tuning for over 25 years and is known as one of the best.

I can't recall where I read the fact about the Mustang dynos, but it was definitely from a number of Aussies on either SoarerCentral or ToyotaCressida forums. In either case, I will stand corrected.
I do agree with the "Stick to the same dyno" routine as a standard of measure.
Thanks for the info...

for the thread owner: nitrous is probably the easiest way to give you car a jolt when you need it. I think that seems to be the consensus.
