Any news on when you want ot go down to Bill'*?
In Tri-Cities. And I'm thinkin' sometime in May, I need some money saved up.

It wasn't a mustang dyno, I can't remember which one it was. Rattle off some names and I'll recognize it.

Nice numbers with that 3.4.........I'm gonna run my 3.5 as long as I can amd my next mod is rockers so it'll be intersting to see how it does.

Sidenote: when I had my GTP it was all about how small of a pulley can I run and I ran a minumum of the 3.4 and sometimes the 3.25. I think a larger pulley at times would have made me faster. But the 3.25 did get me a 13.5 versus a 13.7 with the 3.4.....but I lost my trap speed which is what I'd rather keep for daily driving personally. I trapped 103 on a 3.4 pulley vs a trap of 99 on a 3.25.

You lost 4mph going from a 3.4 to a 3.25!?!? For some reason I think there are other variables that contributed to the 3.25" pulley run being quicker, because it is quite obvious the car was much quicker with a 3.4 pulley.

i dyno'd my car a couple weeks ago. i think the #'* might be a little off. even the dude who owned the dyno said the torque looked low for sure. he thought the hp might be somewhat close but, i dont. i ecspecially think they are low in correlation to what it runs.
max hp. = 215 @ 5450
maxtorque = 232 @ 4300

The hp seems to be in the right ballpark to me but torque definately seems low. I figure a car running 9.2'* in the 1/8 should be a low-mid 14 second car. So somewhere between 210-230whp should be about right, but I would think it would be on the high end of that.

yeah, the guy at the dyno said about the same thing but, he also said that my car ws giving the conection a lot of interference. i'm going to get these rocker arms put on and see what kind of difference that makes as they are supposed to be a top end adder for these cars. maybe my hp #'* will pick up a good bit. they're supposed to give a 20-25 WHP gain !

Rockers do make a nice difference. You will not be dissapointed.
