Are most people using 4th? 5th is closer to 1:1 but it is an overdrive gear. 4th gear is 1.161 and 5th is .971 With all the input on the dyno dynamics I dont think it will make that much of a difference (still learning how to use it). It has massive amounts of corrections that you can factor in. I've been putting down 218whp dynojet, I think thats respectable for the amount of mods I have, but I feel I'm lacking at the moment without a re-tune. I'm gonna tune it on Tuesday next week so stay tuned.

My baseline had to be done in 3rd, cause 4th just bogged itdown too much. My original 4th gear pull on the mustang read 177, 119.

Seriously wildcard...have you check your compression or done a leak down test ever? Replaced spark plugs?

lol, I think my motor was beat on before I got it...I've never done a leakdown test / compression test / changed spark plugs / etc. I baselined my car pretty much without anything done to it by me. I know I cleaned out a crapload of gunk when I seafoamed it, so it's much stronger now, but it's running great right now, so I'm not going to futz with it until I have to. I'm almost at 80k miles, I'm going to go ahead and get some colder plugs when I get my exhaust, and have it re-tuned at that time, so look for me to be good bit closer to that 230 mark sometime in April
