Back to the dyno for some better numbers. How'd I do?

You're usually never going to see boost build and respond like it does on the street on a dyno, especially if it's an unloaded dyno. A Mustang Dyno or a dyno equipped with a load cell that is properly operated is the only way you can simulate boost response.

I'd be willing to bet you see boost a lot earlier on the street since it will load the engine harder than the dyno can. If you were able to replicate your true boost curve and response on the dyno it would show more torque as it would make boost earlier in the RPM curve.

I wouldn't worry about being at full boost at the bottom of the shift recovery as every combination I've ever been involved in makes full boost at the bottom of the shift due to increased load. If you can get boost built on the trans brake like you're saying that you can, you'll have no issues bringing it in quickly enough to run good E.T.'s at the track.

Yeah, if you are seeing 20psi on the brake @4,000rpm you are fine. Should run some awesome times.

Congrats.
