Thanks, I guess i'll start by looking in the area for a place with a Mustang Dyno or a DynoJet.

What shops usually have them?

Not all Dynos are the same.. if u look at one of your graphs , you can actuallly see the converter spike when it locks up, that is an artificial spike in HP numbers created by the converter. Most people around here use Dynojets or Mustang Dynos ..so in order for a comparison to be fare and to get good feedback you should get your car on one of these. he numbers sound to high for a car with your mods. Anyways ..its a start , Congratulations.
This dyno's reading flywheel hp, makes a ton more sense, although going off 210 stock at the fly, hp #'s seem a little low, but maybe that's due to the tranny.

Yeah I wouldn't feel bad about it, they SHOULD know how to use the machine, especially if they're doing all this as a promotional thing. Now they just showed everyone how they don't know what they're doing, since I'm sure yours isn't the only one with the loop action.

Also, everyone I've ever heard of uses these things to measure HP at the wheels, which is more useful since that's where the power actually counts. The numbers will be lower but it will be a better indication of how much "go" you've got.

Yeah I went to Mustang Dyna.com and found a locater usage of it.

But every shop that has one within an hour radius of me only use it for private cars.

you should definately get off the 91 octane without a tune, if anything you are losing horspower and confusing your cars ecm and probably losing gas milage.its a big waste of money with no tune
