You may notice that the A/F is in the 13.+ range this is not a good thing. You want the A/F to be in the mid to low 12's.

SOWAXEMAN,
I'm at station 13, West st and Ohio (on the canal). I went to a shop at 332 west main st in greenwood, they seemed to know what their talking about, but I might give Skillman a call.

Is that near the RR tracks?? Just curious if its the same guy I knew back when I was in HS - whats the shop name?
See that you are IFD - hope you didn't have to work that tragic fire yesterday [&:] I hate seeing that kind of stuff happen during peak heating season when folks get shut off!
Shoot me an email at sowaxeman@insightbb.com if you are into the car show scene around here or interested in meeting up sometime. There's a great weekend event coming up in May down in Brown County

With a mustang dynameter, you have to add 3% per 1000 ft. above sea level your at,
I'm at 3500 ft, my dyno on a mustang was 239.8 hp, add 10.5% to that (3% X 3500) = 265 rwhp.
According to your profile, you're in Indy, which is only 800 or so ft. above sealevel, so 244.4 add .24% = 250 rwhp, so yeah, it's pretty low, are you sure the guy had the right axle gear ratio typed into the dyno?

I should add, my car is completely stock.

RE: Not happy w/my Dyno numbers
Those numbers still don't seem right. I also used a mustang dyno and mine put down 275 at the wheels (i'm in new orleans which is at sea level). Double check your tune, there may be something else that you are missing. I just can't believe that the Hooker long tube headers I have (which is for the most part, the only mahor difference in mods between you and me) is worth 30hp. If it is, then $625 is well worth it.

RE: Not happy w/my Dyno numbers
My car was dynoed on a mustang dyno by a Diablo Chipmaster Revolution tuner and the first pull put down 287 whp and after he was done with all of his majic I ended up at the 304.8 and 333 rwtq - Something seems wrong with your baseline numbers.

14.7 or anything in the 14's is way too lean. Your "Check Engine" will come on.
Stay in the low to mid 12's with the A/F. Probably closer to 12.4, 12.5 ,12.6 no higher.
When I bought my GT my wife said that when she got home from work she had better have something in the driveway for her that would go from "0" to "200" in less than 5 seconds.
So on the way home from work I stopped by Walmart and picked up a new set of bathroom scales.
