update on my 97--with dyno sheet

got into a dyno today, big thanks to dynotune motorsports in columbus. these guys were EXTREMELY nice people.
as for the results, well they were a bit disappointing but i only got it dynoed to help Ion with the tuning.
peak hp was 297, peak tq was 307. we didn't start the runs until 3000rpm and held them until various rpms sine i didn't know it would keep climbing.
let me know if you can see any problems in this graph (other than the fact that it wasn't a peak of 320hp).
also, the blue graph (3rd run) is lean because my fuel got really low. it's amazing how much fuel that thing used in the first couple runs!

and on a fascinating side note, at 6500rpm i was going 177mph!! ....thanks 2.73 gears!!!
dyno:

and here's a link to a pic of the car and me if you're interested:

It could have been worse. I could have asked you if your mom dressed you.

they're 18x9.5 rear (i think) and 17x9.5 front. tires are 275-40-18 on the rear. it is a tight fit. i had to clear the inner wheel wells with a sledge hammer but there's room now!

Was this a Mustang Dyno or Dynojet? I was also expecting a little more power when my car put down 261rwhp/297rwtq on a Mustang Dyno.

it was a dynojet. it sounds about right to me when you consider my track results. 13.77@102.88mph. Ion (madz28.com) said it's still running rich and he promptly sent out a new computer this morning. His costumer service has been nothing less than PHENOMENAL. I'll let you guys know next week if my times got any better....and as soon as i find a shop willing to do the 3.73's, the times will be ALOT better!
i'll dyno again in a few weeks too.
