off topic a bit,....

Rick Lake, or anyone else for that matter, regarding the wideband A/F meter in the car,..... which side do you monitor, or both with two meters, or is it not that critical?


back on topic,....

Dean, any idea what brand dyno was used? The "Mustang" dyno gives more realistic, (lower as much as 10%) numbers. As others have said, you're around 500 flywheel, give or take. If the goal on the dyno is to maximize the tune of what you have, which I'm sure yours is, the best dyno machine to do that (Mustang) produces lower numbers, but more realistic, road like, conditions, best done without the "tricks", as you will normally run it. If you want the highest dyno numbers, find a DynoJet, run up the tire pressure, loose the air cleaner/pipes, throw a couple of ice bags on the intake manifold,... ect.

I would assume, your builder knew what he was doing with the heads, cam, and compression ratio. What were his goals for HP/TQ?
