I went to the ThirdGen forum because a guy invited me to share my results on the 3.4 and let me tell you about trolls!
One dude even said that he wants to see the car run on the quarter mile to see if it matches the hp I'm claiming because he doesnt believe me!
And he says so because he has seen lots of people try to hit 250 with aluminum heads and more stuff done to the engines than what done and because "I now these engines VERY well".


Somebody's aluminum butt just got hurt...

impressive numbers, good job!

out of curiosity, what's with the wonky scaling on the dyno graph?

Dyno operator too old maybe?!

What's wrong with a primary tick every 22 units?

or the alternating 327-328 ticks for the RPM...

Dyno operators are not computer experts. On my last one - he had just upgraded to a newer system and I had to help him figure out how to create the graph with the proper scales and units. Recording the data is the easy part.

If you look at the graph, it starts at 2502 RPM and ends at 5777 RPM. That's a range of 3275 RPM. And it's a 10x10 grid.

3275 / 10 = 327.5

There's your answer.

Side note: IIRC there is software you can put on your computer to display the raw data from the dyno machine, just like they do at the dyno shop. I can't remember the name. But if the dyno operator is willing to share the raw data, you could download that software and make your own graphs.

If they don't know what they are doing with new software and just use auto [scaling] settings that's what you might get.
For mine - I had him edit the graph parameters to see it as it should be seen.

The DynoJet viewer lets you do that for raw DynoJet files... not sure about a Mustang dyno. I've put multiple runs of my car taken years apart on the same graph. It's fun and potentially illuminating.

with this much skill pulling power out of the iron 60* v6 engine, i'd love to see you build a northstar v8 for your racing purposes, But i understand the northstar is atleast 100lbs heavier.

did i read something in your posts about having a 4.9L v8 in one of the fieros? i know those are supposed to be pretty light weight, but not high revving. (and they are iron head too)
