Before I even get into this, Im just going to say that obviously 2 cars on 2 different Dynos by 2 different Dyno companies and in 2 different states isnt an apples to apples comparison, but when you go to the Dyno that is closest to you, you run what you can. Your numbers will be consistent if you mod and go back to the same Dyno, but not from Dyno to Dyno.
Tim actually has Crane 18s, which are very similar to Crowers stage 3, but not exactly in either duration or lift. Technically, I dont have true Crower 2s either. I have crower cams, which were advertised as stage 2, but instead both say 64462-E (instead of 64462-2), and the lift on both the intake and exhaust dont match up to Crowers listed specs of the stage 2. I emailed crower and they confirmed they are bigger, but dont know what they are.
Having said that, Tim and I have similar mods, but not the same. If you were to build two motors, with EXACTLY the same parts and put them on the same Dyno, the numbers would not match up exactly. No two motors make the same exact power. If Tim is willing to share and complete build list we could compare the differences, but I went all out with everything. The head is ported out to the point of making the intake/exhaust walls thin. The intake is the same way, including the boring/adding material on the neck to fit the 60mm, 3 inch CAI/SRI, 4-1 Header and 2.5" catback with a magnaflow cat. And what it really comes down to is the tune. I have my car tuned way past the "safe" zone. I literally advanced the timing until it was detonating and backed it off a degree or two until the motor was making some mad power but doing so happily and without knock.
Then theres another problem, Mustang Dynos use SAE as their WCF, while Tims Dyno graph shows STD correction. Theres about a 17* difference in the temperature correction between them. If that wasnt bad enough, Mustang Dynos typically read lower than Dynojets, but not by much.
To end this rant, Tim made 170 HP/ 149 TQ in his part of the world on his dyno, and I made 186 HP/ 150 TQ in my part of the world on my dyno. (Notice the TQ numbers....) The only way to settle something as close as this,... Is to get on the same Dyno on the same day while the weather remains relatively constant. Maybe one day before I turbo mine. 95 Eclipse GS: 10.5:1, Crower 2's and MSII 186 WHP - 150 WTQ 14.697 @ 93.85 MPH......Gone, but not forgotten 99 420A Avenger: Given to my sister 99 GS OZ: Sold 03 Evo 8: Family Car with balls
