um, hints the word nearest...not actual...and yes it does make a difference as anyone with a knowledge of basic physics will know...as for the octane and injection level paragraph, great for you (commone knowledge as is the BMEP post too) and I have no clue where that rant came from...the wink was just to lead you on incase Brain didn't want me spreading his shit...
so I don't see why you got all worked up...
I will see you saturday and hope to see a sick MR2!!

I didn't get worked up, I just wanted to make sure you guys had taken the time to figure out how to do "engine torque" numbers on the Mustang, because:

Remember the Mustang usually reads lower than a dynojet, unless the operator starts fudging weather correction and gear ratios in the software.

You should. I'm getting up early to do a little off boost tuning bcause I did a little cam gear "tweaking" today on Abacus's dynojet for the best possible powerband for my customer. The car pretty well for such a dinky turbo (T04E-50/T3), and I am pleased with the powerband so far. Here's the dynojet runviewer shot of the plot (17psi pump and 27psi race gas):
It should put down about 380 or so on a Mustang dyno.
