Message and won "import class". First off, the numbers are pretty meaningless. It was a Mustang dyno. Also, a stock Ford lightning with an air intake only (stock boost) dyno'd 420rwhp???

Here's my 2 sheets (calculated 2 different ways):
389rwhp (about 50-70rwhp lower than I expected)

Now check out that RWTQ...

They use the vehicle weight to determine a load to put on the vehicle. The guy running it didn't seem to have a frickin' clue what he was doing. There was a 90 5.0 Mustang that dyno'd where he was supposed to (about 190rwhp). Oh well, for winning I got a bunch of car care products and a rhino stuffed animal. :-/ It was sponsored by Rhinoliners.

The highlight was everyone's expression watching the Z dyno at 7200 rpm in 4th gear at 20psi compared to all the trucks redlining in the 5000rpm range with 8 psi and much shorter gearing. It definitely opened some eyeballs!
