As far as I can remember it was an AW unloaded dyno. Not a dyno for a mustang. I have been thinking about having it done on a different dyno to see if there is a difference. Let me know what your results are with FWD.

Do you think you could post some pictures of it. Include some links of the hitch you have.

That's why I did mention that the dyno I used was a loaded dyno. It simulates the actual friction a car would encounter while driving on a normal road. They do have other dyno that are "free load" that doesn't simulate that experience for the car. Those kind of dynos won't give you an accurate result. Cal ..... I might have some free time after Tuesday of next week if you want to get together. Test drive each vehicle to see if there is a considerable difference. I'm in San Diego til next Friday than I'm back to Texas. It would be interesting to see the differences between the two cars now. Send me a private message if your interested.

I bought the car and live in South Texas but I'm currently in San Diego right now on business. The stock air box is back home sitting in my game room. Yeah, it would've been nice to have a stock dyno result but that wasnt possible. So regardless which location I'm at, the elevation is at sea level. The dyno I used was loaded. Meaning, it simulated actual road usage instead of being a free load. That makes the result even more accurate. Besides the car not being up to what Ford is claiming the only other thing that I can think of is that the dyno was inaccurate. I am currently trying to find another four-wheel dyno here to have a comparative result. I can't find anything on the internet to informatively say how much HP is loss for bigger wheels. Weight of the vehicle is a factor along with the size of the wheels.

I wasn't considering those three mods to increase the horsepower dramatically either. I was just trying to state that with the CAI and exhaust that the car is still not even putting out the horsepower at the wheels that is expected in the 20% loss from engine to wheel ratio. Than with the tune put into that equation that the car still didnt come back up to the expected 20% loss in horsepower from engine to wheel. I agree that those mods only increase the horsepower slightly and about 19-20% increase in horsepower is ok with me. With the 20% expected loss at the wheels, I was just expecting it to be around 264HP after mods instead of 221.

221 is the horsepower its putting out after a custom tune, CAI, and after-market exhaust. After all those mods it isnt putting out the 20% horsepower expected it should put out at the wheels when it's even stock. Heck even without the custom tune job the orsepower was at a 28% loss at the wheels.

The car still has alot of power. After I put a few miles on it and let the PCM learn the system again, the tuned settings will kick in and it will be even quicker (the 221.7HP). I'm shocked that with the amount of power that it had before it was tuned that it only came out to 185HP at the wheels.

This was an all-wheel dyno. We checked everything about it after the first run because I thought the same thing. The dyno is used frequently everyday and everyone elses results came out correctly. Results are the results

I'm starting a new post since the new Edge has been out a while now. I'm hoping someone has found a trailer hitch for it. I know Buzzman has modded one to fit hit Edge but has anyone found one that fits better without having to cut into the ground effects in the back?

Alright everyone... Everyone has been asking for it. I have a 2011 Ford Edge Sport. I've modded it withe the Prozenmotorsports Cold Air Intake, a Magna Flow exhaust, and a custom tuner. I had them do an initial dyno to see where the car is at on horsepower. With a cold run, my 2011 Ford Edge Sport with the Cold Air Intake and Magna Flow exhaust was sitting at just 185HP at the wheels . I was really shocked with the result so several technicians and I checked all the connections, and made sure the wheels were sitting on the rollers correctly. We ran another dyno test and with the engine warm this time the result posted 183.21HP at the wheels. Again with only the CAI and Magna Flow exhaust. The technician did an initial tune and ran the dyno which you can see the results in the last picture. The picture shows the initial run, the second run is after the first tune and the final run is the final tune. After the first tune, he tuned it up some more. Which gave me the final result of 221.7HP at the wheels. I know you can normally expect a 20% loss of horsepower when going from the engine to wheels. They also say that the Edge Sport loses even more horsepower with the 22in rims. Considering all those factors these results are saying that the Edge Sport is losing 120HP from engine to wheels. And thats with a modded CAI and exhaust. Even after custom tuning the engine with those two mods included, the results are telling me that the Edge Sport is running 28% less HP at the wheels from the engine. I've included pictures of the results. The only result that I forgot to print of was the initial result (185HP). I'll try calling the dyno shop to see if they still have it saved and print it off for me. The second and last picture still shows the result differences between the first and last run though. The third picture shows the air to fuel ratio result. Notice on the first run (before the tune) how it drops dramatically at about 4200 rpm's. The tune quickly fixed it where it stays constant through acceleration. Now, I'm not a mechanic and almost all of this was explained to me while he was doing the tests. There's lots of mixed feelings on these forums whether someone should do mods to their vehicle. I chose to do this and I'm capable of putting my PCM back to stock settings at any point that I feel i'm not satisfied with the changes. Thanks and I hope this answers alot of peoples questions.

Have you checked inside your CAI after redlining and flooring the vehicle so much? I have the exact same upgrades as you and have experienced engine oil in the CAI. I've been advised to install a "catch can" or also known as a "oil & water seperator". Go heavy on the pedal for a short drive than check inside the CAI and let me know what you find.
