Horsepower is ((Torque x RPM) / 5250) Please, tell me where weight enters into that equation?

Torque is measured in foot-pounds. A pound is a unit of force. A foot-pound is a unit of work (force over distance). Horsepower is a unit of work over time. 1 HP = 550 ft-lbs/sec.
The information you want to get from a dyno run is what your maximum power on tap is and at what RPM. Then you want to make sure that your 2nd through 4th shifts will be at the points where you have the most average HP between the low and high rpm.
You also want the least number of variables inserted into the equation.
I'm sure the Mustang Dyno serves a valid purpose, but the way it's been described on here, I'd be wary of a technician who claims they can tune for you better with one.
