First let me just get this out of the way. I'm just posting this for other people's information.
Please don't come in here to start a discussion or debate about the accuracy of dyno's, or how to properly dyno, or how to tune a car on the dyno. Start your own thread and argue those things.
Now, with that out of the way...
Here is the dyno of my MS3. Just over 4000 miles on the odometer, only modification is the MS CAI. Mobil 1 oil in the engine, Shell 93 octane in the gas tank. Three runs were done, one in fourth and two in fifth gear. The first run in 4th and the last run in 5th were virtually identical. The second run suffered about 10 hp since we did two pulls virtually back to back w/o much cool off time. Heatsoak FTL.
Also, for what it is worth, I did not baby the car during the break in period. I have found some compelling information that suggests that an easy break in can actually hurt an engines performance, and have heard this from multiple sources, most of whom I do consider to be knowledgeable. So I was flogging this car right off the lot. 4000 miles later, it pulls like a rocket, and uses NO oil that I can measure... last oil change was just over 3000 miles ago and I have not added a DROP. It still sits right at the Full mark.
This is the last run, done in 5th gear, after about 10 minutes of letting the car cool:
250 whp and 281 ft lbs of torque.
For comparison and verification of accuracy, my friend dyno'd his own bone stock Dodge SRT-4 on this same dyno, and put down 228 whp and 241 ftlbs of torque, which is pretty much average for stock SRT's. The shop owner also pulled up a dyno on a stock '07 Mustang GT, which had put down 260 whp and I don't remember how much torque (but I do remember it was less than the Mazda). Again, spot on with what a 300 hp car should be making. So I do believe the numbers are accurate.
At any rate, I'm very happy with the results and my SRT friend and the shop owner were both surprised... they were betting the MS would make 220 whp tops (thumb) . They are both big into drag racing and both feel the car should be good for a 14 flat or faster. Not a huge drag race fan myself but if I get a chance I'll take it and do some runs.
Anyways, just wanted to post up for anyone interested.
Again, PLEASE NO DEBATES IN HERE!
