p.s. 230.5 @ 5100rpm HP
259.8 @ 4300rpm TQ
A\F from 13.54 to low of 12.40 avg A\F ~ 13.10
if pictures stop working
 
I dont know how much HP/TQ you think you should have for your mods.....but my numbers were on a mustang dyno and I am stock, so maybe you can compare it that way.

The MD is more of a real world dyno. It calculates the weight of the car and measures wind resistance as your speeds increase and some other technical stuff I really dont know.

I found this formula somewhere, I cant say if it is 100% accurate, but using it my numbers would be 235/291 stock and you would be 256.8/293.2.

Anyway the formula is ((_/2017)+1)*_

The underscore being the HP or TQ.

ok i've been seeing this alot on here, do all mod motors start off really lean then fatten up? that just seems backwards to me.

Yup, and it is correct. When you're at low rpms you aren't really getting much gas but as you get into the rpm band more gas is sprayed causing it to become richer.

As far as the dyno results, the Mustang dyno is definitely lower than a dyno-jet, but I'm not sure of any good way of calculating what your #s would be on a dyno-jet. Take it to the track and see if you're happy.
