[QUOTE="Grabber, post: 15678384, member: 70485"] ^ I agree with that statement. First and foremost, a dyno is a tool. At the end of the day, if they are calibrated correctly, you will get very accurate numbers. There is a ton of opinionated comments on the boards about how Mustang dynos are the only true dynos, Dynojets and Dynocoms inflate numbers, etc. I had a similar setup to you, but, with Kooks 1-3/4" headers, stock cams/engine, and laid down 443/388 with knock due to lack of "good" fuel/octane. It's funny as I've seen boss manifold 5.0's on dynojets (I dyno'd on a Dynocom) without headers make 450+ RWHP on a non-ported boss, at that. AED uses a dynocom which has proven to be very accurate, especially if maintained and calibrated as needed. Numbers on any dyno can be inflated, depends on the operator and their software. Some inflate on purpose to get more business by marketing high numbers, which a lot of people love to see that don't care to track their cars. Datalogs are a must. Get several. I'd do a normal acceleration log shifting from 1st-4th. Cool the car, then do a harder pull through all gears, followed by cooling the car, then doing a half and a full WOT pull. This is what I did when dialing my car in with Shaun years back. You get a better idea of where the car is lacking and making it's power so you can tweak it at every RPM. Good luck Jumpmaster.
