How much did it cost you for the dyno time?
I've spent a lot of money, including the $53K purchase price new off the showroom floor in May of 1988 !!

Doubtful I could go any wider on the tires...
Currently running 225/40-18 on 8" wide rims.
With 300lbft at the rear wheels it breaks loose, possibly because of the ambient temp as most performance tires do not grip in low temp..

The dyno pulls were three for $69.95 which is very reasonable...
Had to drive two and a half hours to find a Mustang load dyno.
