It was a mustang dyno. And for the record, there was a guy a while back selling his SC'd GS400 that I went to take a look at. He wanted a ride in my car and was floored at how quick my car was being normally aspirated; he said it felt like his car to 60mph! So, my numbers actually feel like they are; I was also neck ancd neck one time with a stock Charger SRT8 and another time with a lightly modded '04 Mustang Mach 1. Our cars are very capable just with bolt ons! But all that will change for me come Spring - 400whp here I come!!!

Lol. So true my friend, so true. I know, talk is cheap but I got the go ahead from my better half a couple months back; I figured I'd do it after the winter now. However, before I install, I gotta get the body nice (paint work) and drop in my other suspension (JIC). Dont wanna leave the car SC'd at a shop ya, know.

Multiply by 1.12 to get the equivalent Dynojet numbers.

Don't get too caught up with dyno numbers. They should only be used as a tool for measuring differences between consecutive tunes/modifications. If you want a real measure of how much power the car is producing take it to the track and see what it does.
