What type of Dyno will it be? i.e. Mustang, Dynojet, etc. I have dynoed on a Mustang Dyno about 2 months ago at NRG in Tallahassee, FL, and was skeptical of the numbers. The way that the Mustang figures HP is based on the wieght of the car. Personnaly, I think it read too high, because for having a 180k mile car, all original, except K&N air filter, with stock exhaust, it said I had 134.2hp@6250rpm and 123.3ft-lbs@5000rpm. And knowing that the car makes 140hp at the crank, that would mean that I have a REALLY healthy motor or the old lady (original owner) put some mystery cams in it, which I doubt.

My bottom end is very stock, even has an oil pressure issue, but I'm itching for an excuse to put the built engine in. I'm shooting for over 500 this go around. I was thinking 20 psi and a 50 shot, just for you, Steve (was 17 psi and a 75 shot before on a smaller turbo).
If that doesn't shut you down, I'll keep making runs until I do :D No, honestly, its all in fun. I hope you do make more power than I do, there's always some trick to be learned from others. It'll be a fun time, either way.

****, if youre gonna nitrous it, then **** it.

youre running the SC61 right? if so, with nitrous, im ****ed. you have the Stg V lagmaster wheel too?
Yessir, SC61 w/ Stage V is correct. I keep hearing from alot of people that I should try to dyno w/ out the spray, I may. What I don't understand though, is no one ever says, you should dyno w/ out water injection. I don't get it. I thought using stuff to make power was the name of the game. Oh, well...

nah, do whatever it takes man, power is power. no such thing as "cheating" when it comes to HP wars. if youre going to spray though, youve got that **** in the bag. see what she'll do just turbo, just for fun, then turn up the wick.
