Looks like I just took 2nd place in the N/A Power rankings :buttrock :redspot :b_blue: :astromile :mdrbig :alright
Oh... Notice they didn't bring my car up to redline. I figured I would be well in the 280+ RW/HP if they did :D

damn good numbers...did they give you a reason why they didn't bring it to redline, also what kind of dyno was this done on?

It was the first car M they have ever dynoed and they probably thought the motor was going to blow ;)
It was done on a dynojet.

They probably didn't run it all the way up because the DSC was cutting in. Did you fully disable it? Even though I thought I did, the technician said that there was a "soft limiter" that wasn't cutting the fuel, but prevented the engine from spinning any higher.

Dynojets usually run 5% above the others which makes sense.

Chazzy,
You could be correct about the DSC. The technician who dyno'ed my car didnt even know where the reverse was. So im not sure he even turned off my traction control at all.
To my knowledge there are two dyno machines that I know of. Dynojet (most popular one) and Mustang Dyno. It would seem Dynojet is the most popular one to use, because by adding 15% for manuals trans and 20% to trans you get your "advertised" stock hp.
And yes, mufflers is my only mod.

DSC needs to be turned off when dynoing. Otherwise power cuts out very early in the RPM range..well before redline.
Hold down for 10 seconds I think does the trick. You can tell because you wont be able to turn DSC off without turning the car off..the button will no longer work.

What other mods do you have besides the exhaust? The torque looks damn good as it's rated at 251 crank stock.

The tech that dyno'ed my car was told of your car by me. He wasnt present during your dyno so he was a little clueless :)
