So I dyno'd the 97 tonight...
That place is where by I live...
The numbers don't look very good...even though mine hasn't been dyno'd I would get in the 280-295 range. What town do you live in, and is the dyno place you were at any good?

I live in Richmond...yeah PAS is a good shop, I'd say (even if they ARE Mustang guys...they've got Saleen's everyplace, I think they're a dealership too)
And as far as the numbers, I figured since GM rated the car at 285, and figuring in the drivetrain loss, 234hp/269tq is pretty dead on. It's stone stock, remember?

Our cars are RWD....but I'm assuming it's a typo
The numbers are probably dead on for the condition of his car, but I have honestly seen stock 97 Formulas dyno at 265-270 RWHP.
How much did they charge you for 3 runs? Is it auto? How many miles are on it?

Slowblue and Blind, I live in Richmond and i've dynoed there too, a long time ago. Put down like 266/308 there. I don't think i've ever seen you guys around, you should come out to O'Charlys on wed. nights at 8:30, big firebird/ camaro meet and dinner.
I live in Chesterfield...
That Richmond Performance Musclecars site that you have in your sig. I used to visit their forums but I don't know what happened to them.
I'm currently in Illinois trying to get my transmission rebuilt

*mutter* wonder why the car would be down on power...the graph looked ok to me.
