1st Trip to the Dyno - Comments?
Finally dyno'd the 86 after top end build & exhaust;
TPIS/AFR Heads (190 casting, 54cc, 272 CFM), TPIS 700-135 cam (224/224, .495/.495), TPIS Level V chip, 1.52 Pro Magnums, TPIS Big Mouth Manifold, AS&M LT runners, ported plenum, TPIS LT headers, Random Tech high flow cat, Flowmaster Force II cat back, BBK 52mm, K&N with open box. The bottom end is stock.
Mustang dyno in Slat Lake City (El. 4,500 ft)
Max HP 265.2 @ 4500 RPM
Max Torque 342.1 @ 3700 RPM
A/F maybe a bit rich at 12.6 - 12.9 but indicates stock injectors or OK, right?
How much HP have I gained from the 235 HP stock given the drive train loss and the elevation here in SLC? Isn't the Mustang a bit on the conservative side?

i am no expert, but lets say the mustang is 10% down on power then a dynojet, that 265rwhp/342rwtq would be more like 294rwhp/380rwtq.
so lets say teh 4+3 loses 15% thru the drivetrain, that would equal around.....345chp/445tq at the flywheel. since stock is around 230/330, i would say u got some good gains.
115/115 at the crank would be a rough estimate for those mods!
re- i dont think the 4500 elevation is your friend either, so # are prob a tad higher then that. but it would of been a good idea for you to dyno it, before and after. then i wouldnt have to assume mustang dyno/drivetrain loss (that was "neat" a forum member saying that).
