Before you call my a Mynes cronie keep in mind I'm looking at products from BOTH vendors. Simply tired of your remarks which have no real backing or merit. I do hope you can make it out to the tune party in South Florida if it happens. Then we can compare cars and hell, you can even drive mine pre/post tune so you can experience firsthand the results of a Mynes tune.

the post was put up like to to show area "under the curve" which was greatly increased. This is what is incredibly important to driveability and acceleration. It's not just about peak numbers. As you can see its 20-23ft lbs peak but the whole graph is higher than what he had before. It's DRAMATIC..................... at high rpms that kind of difference is devasting

Finally, someone who can look at the graphs and INTERPRET the curves correctly. I posted that simple question and everyone thinks i'm bashing or hating....

The points i'm trying to get across are these:
1. Learn to observe data put forth and come up with your own conclusion.
2. If your conclusion does not match what's put forth, then ask the right questions to get a clarification.
3. For the car to nose-dive on the torque like that, it's a tell-tell sign that the car has mechanical issues.

And finally...If you're asking the honest questions on this board, prepare to be attacked.

CASE CLOSED...

case closed?

typical answer from you mike
try looking at all dyno graphs of Mini's on a dynapack with the stock header
you might learn something
then again.......maybe not

you may understand Mustang dyno's but knowing what's normal on a dynapack you sure don't

really classy threatening people... real classy

Rob, It looks like your base dyno numbers and the Mynes "Green Machine's Dyno" numbers are almost identical... both of our Mustang dyno read pretty close.

Your Base Numbers on Cobb's MD: 160whp/146wtqe with stock rev-limiter 6950rpm.
Mynes Base Numbers on our MD: 171whp/149wtqe with rev-limiter raised to 7300.

As i stated in my Post #2 of the Mynes Thread, we raised the rev-limiter to 7300rpm b/c that's where MINIs make the peak horsepower (you "ole tried and true experienced R53 tuner" should have told you that, no?). So if you raised your Rev-Limiter were to be raised to 7300rpm, and i'm sure your base dyno number would be around 170whp.

So bottomline is this: Your MINI and the MYNES Green MINI start at the SAME BASELINE numbers!!! You proved it right here... Even though you have the 17% pulley and the exhaust, the car does NOT take up all the adaptions and make power on its own... that's why a custom tune is really important to harness all the potential of these upgrades. By increasing the rev-limiter 350 rpm (from 6950 to 7300), any mini is going to make more power.

So your observations about the Mynes MD reading high is unfounded. So if you want to find out how much power your car is really making right now, just take your car back to Cobb's MD and you'll get the REAL Dyno number

Cheers.
mike
In my personal opinion, one of the biggest problems on this board is reading comprehension. Please read posts in its entirety before commenting.

On a side note: I have my parts on order and I'm giddy with excitement Can anyone guess who it is?

Clarification on this statement...
"And finally...If you're asking the honest questions on this board, prepare to be attacked."

I'm just saying, if someone were to ask the honest questions, prepare youself to get attack by other posters (i.e. what's happening in this case)...
