when you dyno a car.. you put specs of car.. weight, etc.. and it will put the correct amount of resistance against the wheels for that car..

i'm just going to quit while i'm ahead.. i know what happened with my car.. every car is different.. not trying to be a smart ass, but you can believe it or not.. i doesn't really matter.. i'm not affended at all.. the people that were there when we dynoed the car wouldn't have believed it either if they weren't there to see it..

I'm just trying to wrap my head around it. I'm not saying that you're making up numbers. You've posted the graphs with those numbers on them. People were skeptical when my Cobra put down 507 ft. lbs. with just a upper pulley, exhaust, and CAI, too, but several of us were there when it happened.

That is how a mustang brand dyno works. That is what Panhandle Performance used when they 'tuned' my cobra many years ago

LOL. I believe you picked up the power. 400-430 is around the norm for a properly tuned 10 psi 4.6 2v.
I do think that your mufflers were partially clogged though being that your original dyno was at 350.
