how much did it cost you for the forged internals and install along with all the necessary machine work?

How many miles were on the motor when you dynoed?

Those numbers are good for low 11's. So don't complain :-)

It came off the lift and went straight on the dyno,run through a couple heat cycles and dial in sessions so I would say about 5 miles at the most not counting the time it was run with the start up tune loaded.
I guess it did sound like I was complaining but I think the motor is good for a little more due to the weather (90+ degrees and the kind of humidity that has you sweating just standing still) and it was about 8:00pm before the car was tuned, and was pulling a little timing due to heat, the tuner/builder wanted me to come back in the morning and do another pull when there was time to let it cool down it. He said that he would not beat on his car like that and he damn sure was not going to do it to mine. The numbers are on 93 pump gas, have not loaded the race tune yet but the Torco is on the way.
After driving the car for a few days,you are right I don't have anything to complain about.

Nice car and times.
Jeff

Congrats and with the right driver mod you can hit high 10's at the track (many factors and variables to consider)....My tuner does at sea level with 20" DR's and 550 RWHP and yes the mustang dyno will show lower numbers then a dynojet!
