want to get my car dynoed have some ?'tions

I want to have it dynoed for a few reasons one to see how much power it makes.2 to see where the shift points should be. I can get it on a mustang dyno. 3 pulls are like a $100.00 This would be my first trip on the dyno and I have never been around them. I think they have a wide band O'2. What shoudl my A/F ratio be close too? or Idea. I want to spray it on the dyno to but when its in 3rd gear at what rpm do they go to WOT? as long as it's above 3k that will be fine. 1 more thing my MSD is set a 6400 should I bump it up a few 100 and crank it to say 6500 in 3rd? I have the car shifting at 6k right now I think that is too low for the cam. Sorroy so long...

I would say that your A/F should be between 13-14 on part throttle, and 12-13 on wide open throttle, just to on the safe side, especially if you plan on spraying. You might want to bump the rev limiter to about 6500-6600rpm. Do the first run to about 6200rpm, and see what the power curve and the A/F looks like. If power goes down sharply at about 6000rpm, then no need to go all the way to the redline. Good luck, and have fun.

P.S That is a lot of money for a dyno run. My car club has a dyno day coming up, $20 for two pulls with A/F.
