Our advertised numbers are "Peak Gains".
(Peak = highest point for HP / TQ between stock and tuned runs)

Advertised: +20-30HP / +50-60TQ (at the wheels)

I've added "MAX Gains" below as an additional reference point.
(MAX = largest delta between stock/tuned runs at a specified rpm)

Here's a visual reference for Stage ONE power levels:

Mustang AWD-500-SE (four-wheel) Dyno
Peak Gains: 19HP / 53TQ (at the wheels)
MAX Gains: 43HP @ 4,650rpm / 56TQ @ 3,175rpm

DynoJet 224 (two-wheel) Dyno
Peak Gains: 19HP / 53TQ (at the wheels)
MAX Gains: 41HP @ 3,900rpm / 53TQ @ 3,050rpm

I think that one of the most interesting takeaways from the dyno plots
above is that despite the noticeable difference in Peak Numbers between
the Mustang (heart-breaker) Dyno and DynoJet (fan favorite) Dyno;
the Peak/MAX Gains remain nearly identical.

This is why we have been diligent about asking people to focus less on
the peak numbers from a tuned run, and focus on more the delta/change
between stock and tuned runs.

We would all prefer to tell people that our car makes 350HP / 415TQ
because it sounds more impressive than 290HP / 350TQ, but from the
examples able you can see that both sets of numbers represent the
exact same car, with the same software, same fuel, same weather
conditions, on the exact same day.
