Are the numbers SAE or STD numbers.......? STD numbers read anywhere from 4% to 7% higher.....my old car was 422 STD but was only 400 when it was SAE corrected.

I believe that you put down those numbers, on that dyno, for what it's worth. Have you ran it at the track yet?

A Dyno is just a tuning tool. That's why the rest of the world refers to it as the rolling road. The numbers are merely there for reference when making adjustments. Yes I'm aware that people like seeing the power on a piece of paper (I'm guilty of it too) but I wouldn't worry too much about what it should have put down. Every car that comes off the lot runs faster/slower than the last. Maybe he just got a good one

Recently I got a bad one due to my right rear axle being defective/bent from the factory... sucks but it's life. Sweet car and did you notice a difference when installing just the intake?

I took it to MIR about 2 weeks ago before I put the intake on. It ran a best of 13.1 @ 110 mph w/ 2.0 60 ft. This was the first time I've taken a manual down the strip. Had a really hard time getting it into 3rd so it killed the et. Ran on stock 19" wheels w/ p zeros.

Mine is a bone stock 2012 and I got a 13.1 @ 112 last week on the 19" P Zeros but I'm at sea level and it was 50 degrees outside MIR used to be my home growing up!

That's not a bad run for a stock stang and your first time. Did you have trouble with the motion of the 2-3 shift or maintaining traction? I have the 19" P Zero Nero tires (the all season ones) and couldn't get the car to stick to the ground in any gear at WOT when I ran, it was about 42 degrees from what I recall. Do you have the P Zeros or the P Zero Neros?

It was going from 2nd to 3rd. Its like it woudnt let me in the gear. I figured it was a combination of my excitement and little experience with the car. It happend for both of my runs. Traction was a huge problem too. I have the P Zero Nero tires (it was about 40 outside when I ran).

Nice! I cant wait to get some drag wheels and sticky tires for the track. Did you grow up in So. MD? I lived in La Plata from most of my life until I moved to Va about 3 years ago.

There is a tsb on that. If you're still stock take it in. Tell them it happened merging on the highway ... they will deny your claim if they find out you raced it.
