A couple things guys,

All dynos are different,

I made 255-65 on 3 different dynos with stock manifolds, less mufflers than the OP. with a 75mm tb and a C&L plen.

+/- 10-20rw just on conditions alone and that's not even considering Dyno calibrations

Some of you people with great numbers can take note that maybe even though you don't want to admit it, you could be victim to a forgiving Dyno. (Or the polar opposite)

He has long tubes and some almost worthless UDP's. I can absolutely see 287rwhp from his mods.

I've seen a few of cars hit the 300rw mark with stock heads and 262ah cams, shorties & 75mm tb and plen. One of which is Doughboy4.6

Numbers depend on a lot of things, don't jump on a guy about that when there are too many possible variants.

^^^ That is a very good point. I've experienced variations in dynos myself. This past summer Livernois had a dyno day, and everyone was experiencing inflated numbers.

I'm talking Dynojet dynos here.

Well he was tuned at PSI in Pa and I know they have a Mustang Dyno which is very conservative (Nerd's fav word,lol) so those are high numbers. Let's wait till the OP chimes in though!

A mustang dyno is another story completely since MD's are loaded to mimic real world drive friction & momentum. So the numbers always lower than a DJ. 20% drop from a dynojet is nothing strange to see. Now my interest is even more peaked. Subscribed

Haha yea man. youre times are great!!! I'd love to see what my car would make without a slipping clutch on a mustang dyno. Probably right around 230 would be my guess.

Exactly.. some ppl on thi forum tho think their car is a factory freak or something just because a dyno reads high lol.

Thats one reason Iv never wanted to get dyno numbers.. half the time there BS anyways. All I care about is real world results.
