the last mustang dyno i got tuned on was called the “heartbreaker” lol, i put down a whopping 210whp but was trapping 111mph in a 2700 lb car i still dont see how you evo/dsm guys can run 26psi on pump gas and yet on my honda i wouldnt even think about going over 20psi on 93 even with 8.5:1 compression ---

Too much honda-tech for you man. Would be nice to see a back to back this dyno v dynojet to see how the numbers stack up. Im guessing the evo would be around 460 on a dynojet. ---

lol, well if i ran 26psi on my 35r i would be about 600whp, i just meant in general why evo/dsm people run such high boost on pump gas? in general anything over 500whp/20psi i will run race gas stronger does not mean no detonation, and detonation/afraid of bad pump gas is what i set my limit for ---

DSM’s have horrible head flow compared to any DOHC Honda motor. Their ports may be pretty large but that has nothing to do with the overall flow of the head. Stock for stock the 7 bolt head with smaller ports actually outflows the 6 bolt head with the large ports on the intake side.
