I don't have a scanner to post the sheet but i got 141.9 hp and 129.8 lb/ft of torque. I have the aem cai too. I am pretty unimpressed with these numbers. But, there are three reasons why the numbers are so low.

1. This was done on a mustang dyno and i heard that mustang dyno numbers are actually lower than other dynos.

2. There was on fan blowing air onto my filter.

3. My filter is very very dirty.

What do you all think about this?

I think we all need to get a turbo or swap in a 32valve blown SVT engine.

I think people have said mustang dynos give lower numbers than others.

i think your numbers are just fine. most people are getting 140-145...some even claim 150.

pulling my whole filter box netted me like 5 hp for whatever that is worth.
Also this run was right after 2 other runs. so it could be from the heat as to why I gained that much.

oh sorry, I had a relapse there for a min, I forgot this is an educated board and not one of those "do anything for speed" places. Go to some boards and they'll tell you they actually run around like that.

:tmb: its ok :D the dyno guys always get pissed when I go cuz I always wanna change things to see what effect they have, I am always like WTF is the dyno for if I run the car the same way three times? I am not a big supporter of "cold air kits" and all that jazz, I don't think it is worth the money and I think my dyno was a little off cuz it was the third run in 7 minutes or so. heat bad :fryem:

Yeah, I see where you are coming from. They give you 3 pulls regardless so if you are paying for them might as well experiment a little. I would only need one pull to figure out if anything is really wrong with my car.
