I had lower numbers on my first dyno pull due to my clutch cable needing to be adjusted,after the adjustment,it added a little over 60 HP.Good luck and let us know what you get.

yep, and the results sucked due to the timming being out too far. (retarded.  I came home and pulled the distributor and am resetting the timming) 200hp and 300lbsft of torque.

the car was running way to rich again, and struggling to rev cleanly...  I am going to get a 155lph pump and throw in it tomorrow and hope that fixes it...  (I think I have the FP set too high to compensate for the lack of fuel volume with the stock pump)...  The car should have easily pulled 230ish..  I am happy with the torque though, LOL.  thats the exact same HP as last time but 50lbs more of torque.  And last time was through stock stang headers and a weak AOD....

Not realy. LOL the track was supper sticky.  I bogged on that 13.9 run, and I launched at 2500 on the street tires. Trunk is empty, but I will not pull the seats, as I want to know what it will run when I have someone pull beside me at a light....  This isnt a race car, it is my daily driver...:evilgrin:

Very nice dude.  I'm going to the dyno Friday, and hopefully the track after that (only 1/8th though :( ).  They'll be tuning the ignition timing while it's on the dyno.  Then maybe in a few weeks I'll roll down to a 1/4 mile and try to rip off some 13s.
