435whp, granted the Mustang dynos tend to read low. That's probably 450-465 on a Dynojet.
How much rear camber are you running?

-2.6 on your old stretched tires definitely explains a lack of traction. Hopefully the new setup helps you.

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...

No wonder. Need to be as perpendicular as possible for maximal traction. Hopefully you can achieve that despite a 13" width wheel with (likely) very aggressive offset. You should have all the traction you need with 345 tires, otherwise easy on pedal to the metal. Have you considered an aftermarket traction control unit?

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. |

Ain't that the truth.
