Yes, my truck has no other power adders at this time.
Somebody mentioned that my torque number may be 25 percent high due to some method of calculation on the Mustang Dyno vs. a Dynojet. I want to go back and rerun the truck on a Dynojet to verify the numbers. But that is what the Dyno Sheet says. This was at a Dyno Event with numerous witnesses.

I have never seen our trucks stay in 3rd gear with the tow/haul button on. what year is your truck? I know when mine was dyno'd I had 2 runs done normal, and the last in tow haul. There was no difference in gearing between either setting. 
And with those kind of numbers with the mods you have - they must have been pulling an April fools joke on you.

The week prior on July 18, 2005 at a different Dynojet it was at 264/501 in 3rd gear. (tow haul button engaged)
Today, April 1st, 2006.......on a Mustang dyno at Emory, TX Dyno Day it was 320hp/771tq with the AFE stage 2 and Magnaflow exhaust (kitty delete). I don't know if the Rokktech sensor could have changed anything or not. This run was in 3rd gear with the tow haul engaged. Temp was around 80 degrees and humid and it started raining a little while afterward.
So that was a gain of 40 hp and 243 torque with air and exhaust upgrades only. I don't know what other factors could be playing into it. I was hoping for 300hp and was surprized to see it go above it. I know the 2 other runs on the same dyno today were real low when dyno'd in 4th gear. The 3rd gear run made a big big difference on the Mustang Dyno.

They may have been. It ticks me off, if so, because I want GOOD HARD ACCURATE numbers as I move forward with really adding the power.
I am probably going to have to go spend some more money have it redyno'd on a Dynojet to see what they say my numbers are. I don't care for the Mustang dynos based on my limited experience with them.
The numbers I have are the numbers I have. Im not making them up or lying about my mods (or lack thereof).

Well the Rokktech sensor is a timing advance, right?? If so a timing advance is what you get on the low TST settings and that will produce 25-40hp increase with duration set to 0. I agree that the intake and exhaust will not gain that kind of hp increase, but timing sure will.

On the torque tubes there are directional fins in there that some say direct
the flow of air going in the turbo. I guess maybe the reduction in temps. are worth it being removed/modded? If you're pushing gigantic hp w/ a Phat shaft or something fins don't do diddly?.......

I wondered about that. (rokktech maybe adding to the power besides the Air and Exhaust) I guess the only way to know with certainty is to go back to Lewisville and get on the dynojet.
Just say NO to MUSTANGS!
