00' Firehawk, 328hp/319lbs.ft I got a chance to dyno my Firehawk tonight. A local college has gotten a Mustang Dyno and I went tonight.
The guy I bought the car from said it dynoed at 320hp on a Mustang Dyno. The car had a SLP Lid, SLP y pipe and a 180 thermostat. He said it dynoed at 305hp stock.
The only thing I have done to it is added a Fast Toys Ram Air Kit.
It put down 328hp at 5941rpm and 319lbs ft. at 5146rpm.
I think they are still learning how to run the dyno. At first they had me run it in 3rd gear which didn't seem right. It put down like 289hp. I said something to the teacher that I thought it was supposed to be in a 1:1 gear ratio.
I did one more run in 4th and put down 328hp. Obviously two different dynos but it "looks" like the FTRA did give me some power even sitting still.
I will try to attach the graphs.

Thanks man. I just want to make sure those numbers are close ya know?
I am not one of those guys who wants inflated numbers to make himself feel better. I just wonder if the rest of the dyno was setup properly.
The first pull I was going to go to 6500 and the rev limiter kicked in.
After that I went to 6000. The tach was showing almost 7000 rpm when the computer was showing 6000.
They had an AutoTap that plugged in to my OBD2 connector to get the RPMS.

Looks like some good numbers to me! Sometimes the stock tachs are way off. That's why alot of people go with the aftermarket ones. Another option is to just get a shift light so you'll know when to shift (you can set it for any rpm you want).
