Well, I can only talk from my personal experience. I put down 289 WHP / 292 WTQ on a mustang dyno up in Dallas when I had my 03 Evo tuned awhile ago. The best time I got on 22 psi was a 12.6 at 108 with a similar set-up as you. That was with a 1.82 60' time. MZM's dyno is a very low reading dyno. I would guess you are in the 315-325WHP range on a regular Mustang dyno. Which would produce the type of time slips you are seeing. That is just my opinion by no means is it fact.

Two answers to your questions: dynojets generally read higher than mustangs do and you're obviously a good driver

The theory is good the problem is that he does not have enough mods to make 315-325whp on a Mustang Dyno. Keep in mind his run was on some race gas

Looks like we'll all have to wait until next week for the track.

I have heard that their dyno reads low. I would rather the dyno read low and read low on the time slips then run high on the dyno and high at the track.
