So I went to the dyno today with my dad

I took my 78 f-150 and he took his 84 f-150
Obviously they are probably off because they couldn't use the inductive pickup to get their rpm pickup.
But anyways here's my numbers
max power on motor - 475 whp + 496 wtq ------------avg 363 hp/437 tq
max power on 100 shot - 549 whp + 593 wtq ---------avg 476 hp/517 tq

They would only do one run for dad because we think the dyno guy got scared 
dads #'s
540 whp + 943 wtq :bowdown: 
it made that torque at 2100 rpm. It probably had more in it because it started misfiring early, so we think maybe the boost retard was taking too much timing out. but we couldn't do the other two runs to figure that out
BTW: dads truck runs on straight propane for fuel
