Btw, my car did 308rwhp, 387wtrq on a mustang dyno, Its called converter spike. But my 105.7 trap is pretty consistant with around 310whp so its got to be pretty close.

Car is a m6.. maybe he got lucky but most likely not... wait no he didnt.. unless the cam in that car is seriously fucked up from the factory and ground for more torque.. somehow.. or somethin like that

Sorry from now on I'll put lol at the end of all statments that are meant to be sarcastic.
They must have swapped in a truck cam instead lol. In all honesty I have no idea why the TQ was that high possibly a high reading dyno but if that was the case why would the HP be on the money? I am running it on a dynojet next week after the pacesetter and tune install that should give me an idea if it was the dyno or the car just puts down a lot of TQ.

Thats what I can't understand. I checked out the numbers from the cars that did a dyno day the weekend before on the same dyno and I didn't see any TQ numbers that were outta wack. I am not sure if you can manipulate TQ numbers by the tester making an error but it sure does seem awful high for it's mods.

Good kill OP. That was a great write up BTW. I dont understand why people are making such a huge deal out of your numbers. You have the dyno sheet to prove it. But like you said, in a race its about who finishes first. And in this case, you finished first. Good job.

Cruising home from work 96-98 Mustang comes outta nowhere and starts riding my ***. I move over thinking he just wants to pass. He pulls up along side and it's some punk *** kid wearing his hat the side like a douche with his GF riding shotgun. He proceeds to rev his mighty 4.6 complete with cherry bombs to about 6k even bouncing of the rev limiter at one point. At this time I am thinking this kid can't be serious. I used own a 96 Gt with full boltons and it was an absolute turd on a good day. So as fate would have it we get next to each other at the red light when he proceeds tell his GF "watch this babe" I am thinking oh FFS kid this is going to ruin your night. Light turns green and he launches with the fury of a thousand Arabian suns engulfing his Yokohama's in smoke complete with the ring of rattling exhaust hangers and cherry bombs mixing into the beautiful sound of his rev limiter. He bangs second gear chirpping those same bald Yokohammas with his mighty 4.6 screaming for mercy. He looks to in his rearview to see the overrated LS1 he has just laid waste to, but what is this???? The Camaro isn't there maybe it burned up from the shear velocity of his launch or made a quick right to avoid being embarassed. Wait...... what is that? It can't be there's no way! "My launch was perfect my shifts made the racing gods cry how in the **** did he get 3 bus lengths in front of me before I was able to shift my mighty 4.6 into 3rd???" The next red light was approaching fast there must be some explaination so he did what any true master of the streets would he made a right at the light and yelled to the Camaro driver "Had to use Nos to beat me *****"
Yes this really did happen last night.
