Dyno-mite!
Finally found an all wheel drive dyno and strapped my X in. I wanted to see if the last mod paid off. I recently added an X pipe and it felt more torquey around 3900 rpm's, the sound is a little over kill at WOT, but around town is has a deep sort of a growl! As it stands I picked up around 16 hp and 10 ftp of torque. I also changed the Dinan air filter just prior to this test, so that combined with the X pipe and my beast has never breathed better!

I tried to attach a video clip, but for some reason it would not upload to the web-site, the file format that the video was shot in is .mov and I think the Xworld will only take .wmv, I'm not sure how to convert it or if it's even possible?! If i figure it out I will add video clips later. Until then I guess you will just have to settle for a few pic's.

Are those numbers your total gains including S3 or with just the addition of the X-pipe?

Chili,

Those gains are with S3 Dinan package and the X-pipe. The X-pipe was the most recent mod. After the Brembo BBK. Also mileage is around 10-13 around town (depending on how much I get into it) and 15-19 freeway (again depending on how I'm feel'n that day).

Where? Where? Where? - would love to put my Dinan S2 upgrade thru a dyno - I already know I can beat Mustang 5.0s (at half my wgt), but would love to get some actual numbers - best hwy mileage was 22.7mpg using Chevron (20.1mpg using just about anything else) - around town it's ditto, how frisky do I feel, but usually 13-17mpg
