Love the car and swap.

What type of dyno was this on? I was expecting more than 460 with 12#s....maybe just the 70mm turbo but idk

NICE...What kind of dyno is that? Almost looks as if it could be at home in your garage.

I love Novas, I had a 69 a few years ago. Those numbers aren't bad going through a stalled auto and on a mustang dyno. That should be a low 11s car no problem.

460 on a mustang dyno with 12psi and a t70 through auto? Sounds good to me. I made 560 on a dynojet with 15psi 6 speed on a t70. Parish made right around 600 on a maxed out t70.

Very nice . #s look right on par with your setup/dyno and turbo. Add a cam, Intake and some more supporting mods and 550rwhp + is right there.
