About a 15.7 with the 18s. The 4.8 is a 2000 or an 01.

was that run with all of the mods in your sig? was it @ full weight? i have less performance mods and run quicker in basically the same truck. 14.88 before the nelson tune, shaner throttle body, and meaty tires.

weight reduction was my spare, tailgate and sterio system. the ##'s do seem a lil on the low side.

Maybe a cam and a stall or cam and n20, I have to come across some $ first though. Yeah the times were at full race/street weight, I had the tailgate, fiberglass bed cover, bumper, spare, and the 18s on my truck with some pretty beefy tires (285/60/18).

I wouldn't worry too much about chassis dyno numbers, not sure how accurate they really are. Plus, dynos are only as good as the person who set them up...the Mustang rep comes off as a bit of a tool, who knows if he knows what he's talking about.

This was on a Mustang Dyno so I know that has something to do with it but we had a guy from Mustang running it in the shop here today and making sure the calibrations were correct. Anyone have any similar crappy results on a Mustang or is something wrong with my truck here?
No way are those numbers are correct. I have a 5.3 Tahoe. I dynoed it after I did a Westers tune and 40 series Flowmaster and had 230hp/284tq. Those numbers are with the 24's on and 3.73 gears. So I know you are at least in the 275 range.

I think the Mustang rep had no clue what he was talking about. The bad thing is our instructors paid him like $4000 to come and set it up and I still don't think he got it right. When a few of us went up to him and told him something was wrong he got defensive and said that we just don't have very much power. I guess now we just have an expensive paperweight. I'm glad that my student fees went to pay for this idiot to come and tell us that everything is running right when its way the hell off.
