thats also alot of stress on motor specially a mustang loading dyno..some vehicles with smaller motor and tall gears some times cant pull to the peak rpm and have to go to a lower gear

but just from a word of advise if you want high dyno numbers go to a dynojet..

Filled up the ol' tank tonight. Had quite a bit of cruisin/city drivin, a few races, two of em with nitrous, quite a bit more idle time then usual so I could let the guys I work with hear it. All in all, I drove it quite a bit harder than what I usually do and still managed 21.2mpg...It hasn't been that good since I bought it new...
