Is that normal for a pull on a Mustang Dyno? I couldn't tell when, or if, he jumped on the gas pedal.

^^^Exactly why I think I could pull more. This was my 1st time to actually dyno my car so I didn't know what to expect. But this was in a small town and the guy really seemed like a *****.

Here is a quote from another guy on ls1tech on his numbers.
"Well to give you some insight. I did 264/299 on a MD and then 324/316 on a Dyno Jet."

Still not sure why you think that if he had stayed on the throttle longer it would have magically "recovered" and started pushing the curve up again. The engine produced all the power it could, the curve had nosed over, and he let off....... what did he do wrong? Even if the dyno was producing number 5-10% higher, it still would have nosed over at the same RPM.
