well, had to do it. dynojet 91 degrees. car has air filter and the mufflers are gutted for air flow. made 302 hp and 340lb's of torque. The odd thing is I took a friend's stage III roush mustang, supposed to be 450 hp. His tq numbers were only 344, shouldn't his be higher? His is supercharged also.

YEA-----!!! The Mustangs always brag about their HP-- but their TQ sucks----On paper a 450 HP mustang should kill a 350 HP corvette
BUT reality is in a drag race it's TQ that gets the car out of the hole and launches it quickly
So if you take that same Mustang to the track and he races YOU--
he'll have a 3800 lb car with 344 ft lbs of TQ
you'll have a 3300 lb car with 340 ft lbs of TQ
I'll put my money on you every time !!!!!!
