it went fine for most, something was odd about the dyno though, when mine went up i got a laughable number, then when my friends 400whp on a mustang dyno went up he got 350whp ish, we think they were not setting up the rolling resistance or something.

they also werent able to pick up the rpm correctly, according to the sheet he started at 7,000 and went to 12,000 lol ill posted the screwed up dyno in a min
