took my car to the dynojet at GRC Performance (mustang shop) and i put 146hp and 148tq to the wheels. i was expecting to get around 127ish. im stoked that i didn't get my heart broken. i have an apexi n1 dual and a franken intake, aem short ram with injen extention, and good compression except for the #3 which is 10psi low. ill post the dyno chart when i find my camera, but does this sound a little high to anyone??? my brother (who has a stang) and all of his stang friends say that the dyno gives low numbers but i honestly think that what i got is a tad high. so any input would be cool.

how many miles are on your car? Just curious, cause some guys have more stuff yet they make less prolly cause old engines. But yeah list all mods.

Cool man. But from what I've heard, Is the mustang dynos give too MUCH hp on the ratings. I think DynoJet is the more trusted of dynos. But, if thats the true hp of your car nice!

Sweet. Though how many miles you have on your car car does not matter, as long a you keep it up to par. When I dynoed my car, it had 200k and it pulled 149.4hp and 147.9tq with just simple bolt-ons. With only 2psi short on cyl 3 .Take care of it, and it will be good to you.

dynos are all different. Even the same dyno will sometimes read slightly different on different days.

Mustang dynos read lower than dynojet dynos. Usually 15-30% lower b/c they actuallt load the engine as if it was traveling down the road. You can run quarter mile runs on a mustang dyno and they will usually be accurate within .1 of a sec.

Dynojet is good for bragging rights. Mustangs dynos are better for tuning.
