No problem, I emailed Mark a tune for it a day or two ago. BTW that tune is for no MAFIA and 39# injectors (blue).

That is correct good sir. Also, just to be sure, is that tune for the 3.73's? I just remember some issues with the Paxton tunes and different gears. Makes the car drive (stick) like you were learning to drive a stick for the first time.

You should feel a difference 434/383. Peak wise you picked up 136rwhp and 65ft lbs. Usually this set up makes around 450, but your car seems to always be a little under powered. No biggie, enjoy.

Thank you Greg for taking care of him for me.
Good numbers Jaime. I am also a little quizzical as to it being slightly off from where I thought it would be. I didn't want to go by past numbers as those were on a certain other shops dyno that always seems to spit out high numbers.

jaime
dont worry about dyno numbers.
Dyno numbers are for dyno queens.
Take it to the track and lets see whats it capable of. :gears:

Jaime I would really stop worrying about the numbers.
Greg can put it on the rollers and irk out 350, maybe more but he knows what he is doing and I don't trust our work to any other tuner because of it.
If he says "This is what is good and safe", go with it.
At this point your races are going to be more based on proper driver mod (experience), suspension and tires than a possible extra 10 or 15 horses out of that novi as it sits.

im not worried bout the #'s. Just comparing it to others.. youre right..right now i need tires.. gonna pick up the Shelby tomorrow at the dealer..

hey Jaime you know that gears dont give you horsepower right?
Like everyone said, numbers are for your mod car at the shows, time slips is what matters. get the shelby on the track and get used to it so you can get 12's on the 1/4!!!
Greg@RET

GA. has 93 octane = more timing.
Your numbers are a little lower, but oh well. My car only made 800rwhp, but went 155mph in the 1/4 mi. :boost: See what the MPH is and we can go from there.
