Mainly because someone said your numbers read low, I wanted to point out that Mustang dynos typically do... it wasn't a knock at you or your car at all...

But seems like so many people get wrapped up in a "number" to attach to a car. Any dyno can be calibrated to read whatever. The dyno is a tool not the "end all be all" for indicators of performance on the street.


yea the important thing is to always dyno your car on the same dyno when you change things. And yes, dyno's can so easily be calibrated to skew the results, which is why i'm always suspicious when shops have in house dyno's and want to show off custom work. nothing like going to another dyno and finding out your car has like 75 less hp than you thought
