What type of dyno will you be running on, Mustang or DynoJet?

I'm sure you already know this, but the operators should run the dyno with the car in 4th gear. Also, my dyno guy asked me beforehand where he want me to have him stop (rpm wise). I told him around 6000 on the stock tach.

What's interesting is that my peak HP was at 5300 rpm (pre-331 combo). I'll be curious to see where yours is (on the '90).

I was concerned about the car overheating, but it never got above 200* on the second run with very little cool down time in between. I'm sure they'll have a carpet blower or something to help cool the car down b/t runs.

Are you planning on doing some tuning while on the clock or just a couple quick runs to see what they've got in them? If tuning, it would be nice if they had an O2 sensor.

Good luck,
E
