We put more timing in it, and the power level didn't go up. We're wondering about the converter now...
On a good note, our intercooler only gained two degrees of temp from the start of the run to the finish. Bob

WOW its late!
Like Bob said I made atleast 5 more stabs @ it and it made 633 every time ??? not 632 or 634??? We will see tomorrow @ the track !
Good news is that it acclerates on the dyno from 60 MPH to 147 in about 4.2 seconds
I can feel this thing is definatley pulling on the dyno. I dont know maybe the trans is slipping We will see!?!?
Im going to bed.........

He's close to Ohio, and Columbia City is a longer drive for him than Fort Wayne was. If we outgrow the building we are in now, I'd like to buy some acreage and build a shop around Roanoke. Easy access from I69 would be a plus. Right off of I69 by Markle would be great also. Bob

Great writeup on the build. Can't wait to see some of those videos. Good luck getting it dialed in and good luck at the shootout.

Thats just how high stalled cars are on the dyno, especially a mustang dyno, thats why I dont post dyno numbers

147 @ 7000rpm is about right if the car has a 3.70 with 28" tires, if it has a 3.50 then time to look at the converter.
