Default Dyno Runs!!!!

OK, for all of you that were dying to know what my car was putting down, then here you go. Best run was 277 rwhp & 359 rwt (that's the red line). Blue line is my runs after we did get the air to fuel mixture reset at a safe leve was 269.1 rwhp & 355 rwt. As you can see, the car was running very lean in the upper revs, and on the 3rd run, we nearly blew the engine. Didn't get to really tune the car with the tweecer as we spent nearly all 3 hours trying to figure it out. We're gonna read up on it some more and next time I go we're gonna try for 300 although 290 may be the best we get as the stock 19lb injectors are already being pushed to the max. And no, there was nothing wrong with the dyno, so apparently there is some type of mod(s) on the car I don't know about. Either it's been bored, stroked, or has some type of head swap, but there's deffinitly something that's been done extra other than my mods

BBK CAI, BBK U/D Pulleys, FFRP 9mm Wires, BBK Unequal Length Ceramic Headers, Bassini X Pipe, Magnaflow Catbacks, Steed Tri Ax Short Shifter, Spec Stage 1 Clutch, 3.55 Gears. Those are the mods I know about, performance wise, because those (except the gears) are what I've done to the car. I also have a Tweecer RT, but we we're quite able to figure the whole thing out quite fast enough to begin making more power, but like I said, the fuel injectors are already being pushed to their limits.

Damn dude, you typically see those numbers with H/C/I swaps, but I see that you've got the stock upper manifold. That's pretty crazy dude. Are the heads iron? does it sound lopy at idle? Can we hear some videos of your exhaust?

It does have a kind of weird idel, kind of like roooom rooooom roooom roooooom. Yea that's what boggles me too, who in the hell does a head, cam, or port the engine and leaves the stock upper intake on? But the dyno doesn't lie and we double checked the settings to make sure they were right. Then we compared my runs with other Mustangs they ran, and the only runs that were higher were 03 and 04 Cobras, there was one guy with a bad *** 95 5.0 that produced like 500 or so hp, but after that I had the next highest run. They had a few stock foxbodys that ran around 170-180 rwhp and one 98 that ran 190 rwhp stock so that's how I know something wasn't wrong. Hell they had a 95 Cobra with a couple of mods putting down 240 rwhp as his best run, so it deffinitly wasn't the dyno.

Just checked the engine block, heads are rusted, but do not appear as rusted as the engine, so if there were changed it was done early in the cars life.
