For the GT fans I have decided to place one last dyno graph up before official Australian release of the SCT product. This is a dead stock A4 transmission equipped GT before and after SCT tuning.

how about New Edge Mustangs ???

ANYONE what would be the biggest rwkw we have seen on a stock auto BA GT on this site would be what around 235 to rwkw..

Manuals have read a lot better..

Here we go, another carefully band-aid orchestrated dyno debate!
Cmon guys, back to the facts.

Let's not focus so much on the figure but the improvement from a stock reading to that with SCT tunning, that torque line look's sooooooooooooo good. so low.

Yeah it's very interesting tuna you're always quick to throw stones at other tuning shops power graphs (like you did today on a thread relating to a Unichip) though when you're asked to explain a very optimistic/high power figure from a dead stock auto GT (over 25 RWkW's higher than any other auto GT in Australia that I know of) you simply duck the issue and change the topic.................you just lost all credibility in my view.

Thanks

I apologise if you took my last post the wrong way. It just looked odd that there were holes in the dyno grid where the cut line had been rubbed out. Thats not throwing stones. Thats pointing out facts. Now on to this issue...

The raw explanation for the apparently high reading would be, and I searched back over my notes for this, is that the torque converter has been locked for both runs, via the SCT scanning tool, which results in zero transmission slippage, and direct drive through the transmission, something thats very important when it comes to accurately tuning an automatic transmission car. It also makes the power read very similar to that of a manual.

My apologies for not mentioning this earlier.

Its nothing more than a little idea that Rob Herrod and I had when chatting on the phone the other day. He has some excellent hardware for these cars, having undertaken all the camshaft development with the DJR project, and even has bits like brand new 4.11 diffs in stock. A really nice bolt on project, with four lumpy cams bolted in, and a full SCT tune should easily dip into the 11 second zone, even at full weight.

The good news for most of you guys is that the car will be run out of Melbourne, and spend most of its track time at Calder or Heathcote. Got to have it ready for the LS1 Drag Nationals next year with there is a DYO EFI Ford class with $1000 prizemoney!
