Preface - this is a repost of the results from the tip-in thread for better visibility without having to look through 6 pages of people saying they'll throw some cash in.
Info:
The car was dyno tested on an AWD Mustang Dynamometer on a 92-96*F ambient temperature day (with corrections in HP/TQ for weather). The car has an AFE dry air filter installed - this is the only mod on the car, and was running 93 octane fuel. All pulls were done in 4th gear, using Sport mode on the transmission. The initial speculation was that 4th gear was the nearest to a 1:1 ratio - this was incorrect, 5th gear is a 1:1 ratio. The shop has assured me that the testing results won't be far off of accurate, though some speculate that the HP will be a bit down and the TQ will be a bit up from where it should be when ran in 5th gear.
The dyno had a couple of hiccups in the readings on a couple of the pulls that were made, and most of those results have been excluded (though the graph for said pulls fell in line with the rest, side the hiccups). After a total of around 6 pulls, we had a couple good graphs - these are included below, along with one graph including a hiccup run to show line consistency. In the graph that includes the hiccup, you can see the spike around 4400 RPM which increased the "maximum" HP for that run to an incorrect figure. It was left in on that graph to show the consistency, the other graph has it removed.
The exact vehicle profile for the FuSpo in the dyno software doesn't exist yet, so a 2015 Fusion AWD was used for the weight and aerodynamic profile, which should be near-enough to correct for a good reading (the minor refreshes in the 17 MY shouldn't change aero performance much). Along the same lines, there are no extra parameters that were able to be captured through the OBD-II port as the software didn't have a sensor location for them yet.
ALL HP AND TQ NUMBERS ARE TO THE WHEELS (AWHP / AWTQ).
That out of the way, on to the business...
Few pics to start the day off with:
Empty Dyno
Car pulled in!
Car strapped in and ready to go!
Uploaded a couple of 4k videos from my phone of the runs. The phone was OUTSIDE of the dyno room, looking through glass. Kinda loud in the dyno area, and it's a safety hazard, so I had to wait just on the other side.
Final Results:
3rd run...
5th run...
Runs 3 and 5 graphed...
Runs 2, 3, and 5 graphed (graph 5 is the one with the hiccup, but shows line consistency side the hiccup)...
