Default Just Got Another Mustang

I just got this mustang a couple days ago. The guy i got it from said he had it dynoed and it put down 455wrhp and 477 torque but i highly doubt it as i had a 95 mustang that was supercharged and it had 405wrhp and would get up and go way faster then the 97.Could it possibly have that much hp? The guy showed me the dyno sheet and the numbers were what he said. But a little about the car
Its a 1997 Bright yellow gt with 34,000 miles. All the parts i have listed are under a year old and were bought brand new..Its has High performance racing crank and cam.New over-sized racing pistons and rings its been Bored out also been ported and polished.Its has been chipped and tuned, New fuel rails, Ford Racing plugs, New coil packs, Aftermarket intake, Raven X pipe high flow Exhaust with turn downs over the wheels.Cobra r 17 racing wheels with 11in tires in the rear.Short shifter,King Cobra racing clutch,Eibach racing suspension, Positive traction rear end, 3:73 gears and all new inside new seats, carpet, mats, headliner etc.

Im going to post some pics of the mustang up and let me know what yall think.

Without a blower on that thing, it aint gonna be anywhere close to 455rwhp. If it has a supercharger, there is a lot left in it with the new parts installed. And why on earth would someone not do forged connecting rods when they do forged crank and pistons??? Thats just dumb...leaving the weakest link in there...how much did you pay for said car if you dont mind me asking???

Thats what i thought but i took his word because he had the dyno sheet stating the numbers and i even looked at the vin numbers to make sure that the vin number on the dyno sheet matched the car vin and it did. Im not really worried if it doesnt im planing on adding a supercharger to it in the next couple months just have to figure out what brand i want Kennell Bell, Procharger, or Vortech

I would definitely make sure that you have a blower friendly compression ratio and make sure of whats in the engine before you do a blower and crank up the boost and have it go BOOM! Do you have the receipts for the work done???

Sorry, but that list looks like it was written by a uber noob, ricer dbag queer. None of those "engine" mods really match the things that someone would do to one of these cars. And there are no engine mods beyond FI that will get you within 100hp of that dyno sheet.

Off topic a little, but what kind of conditions was the car kept in that necessitated replacing interior parts to such an extent? Did a pack of ferrel dogs inhabit it for a little while? It's only got 34K, so things like that, or "new paint job", "new transmission", etc. on a car with that kind of mileage (regardless of age) always raise red flags for me. +1 what everybody's saying about the dyno numbers. There's a mistake somewhere.
