No way to know without putting it on one IMO.
People try to assume a Mustang reads "low" but sometimes they don't and sometimes they read higher. Depends on calibration factors.
There is no set rule as far as what to expect, but it is often the case the Mustang reads a little lower (as do other load bearing dynos from what I've seen), just not in a way predictable enough to say "it would make xxx on a dynojet."

MD hurts peoples feelings....plain and simple.
I'd rather make 500rwhp on a MD than a Dyno Jet any day of the week.
Any dyno can be manipulated.
People need to stop using the dyno as a dick measuring tool and use it for what it is.
It gets damn frustrating trying explain to people why their car makes less power on a MD than the Dynojet, Dynamics or whatever else the other shop has down the street.
"It's the biggest I've ever seen"
There...does that help?

Verdad Gallardo The last sentence simply means that you will get more business if you have a dyno that reads higher. I know guys that have driven an extra 150 miles passing one DJ for another DJ only because it gives higher numbers. Most consumers could care less about accuracy which invites, stated kindly, optimistic numbers.
One time in particular out local track was reading 4-5 mph high. To this day I have no clue why, but it never happened again. So yes even the track can be off, but it seems much less often than dynos that are off
I was totally kidding. Though TBH, I would drive 500 miles out of my way to go to a track that read 5MPH fast!

And like dyno's tracks vary from one to the next. Everyone tries to race at Atco for great times. I doubt anyone is driving to Denver, Colorado for a time slip.
