Roush Why is my hp so low????

[129saleen]

I just got my car tuned today with the 14lb pulley and it made 415whp and 470wtq...Why is my hp so low???The tq sounds fine but I was expecting atleast 470hp also...This was at 16*timing...

There is only one reason why your hp nums are low. Your tuner. That torque number is impressive for a 2V. I'd be happy with that number for sure. The torque number is way more important anyway.

What brand dyno, Mustang or Dynojet?

DynoJet...And the tuner is strictly performance...supposedly one of the best in Texas...Idk I think its cause of the low timing, I think if they put it at 18* it would make a lot more hp..My block is forged so it should handle 18* also..

I am runing about 24* but then again I also have the snowperformance kit.

timing

i have the 2.2 kit on mine and im running 18 degress of timing and would have done more, thing is i was in the same boat as you except i was only making 350rwhp and thats with a 2.2, if you read the kenne bell directions they say to run 23 degress, i had to make my tuner put that much timing in it he didnt want to, but as i told him its my car my motor and my money that im paying you to do this tune so try it and he did, with a 4 inch pulley thats about 7lbs of boost i made 380rwhp that not wat matter tho its the tourque, id go back and ask him to try and bump the timing up,i dont even have a forged motor and im running 18 degress its worth a try?? isnt it?
