Do you think he's spinning on the dyno? I would think if so then his dyno would be choppy and not smooth? Also since he had it dyno'ed at 2 differnt place then someone would have said something...like sit in the trunk.

They are two different kinds of tires and one of them is kind of bold but not to much... Would that make a difference? Because both dynos gave me almost the same results!

Is it dangerous to be running really rich?
My car is now idling at 10.8 and on open throttle, it goes to 10.4

Woe, yeah fuel wash time, definitely at idle. Something isn't right with your tune. Check your oil condition and see if it smells like fuel. You don't want to scuff your pistons. If you have a way to not drive this car i would not, but if you have to, I would change your oil to try and be safe. If you keep running it like this, your chances are good that you will continue to dump fuel past your pistons and in to your oil and oil with fuel in it does not lubricate. Your motor can go south quick.
Somethings telling me that its the tuning. But I am going to do as much headwork myself to see if its anything internal, sensors, or clugged header or exhaust, or there might be a 3mm headgasket on my car and not know!
Thanks everything for your suggestions and professional opinions... Keeping everyone posted on what it might be.
Atleast this might be a great learning experience for me and others!

Something isn’t adding up. First of all I have to correct you, you don’t have "headers"... you have a header, and there is no "down pipe" since its not a turbo. I assume you meant the collector portion of the header where it mates to the cat? 2"/50mm is smaller then OEM. You sure it isn’t 60mm? Mustang dynos read the lowest, but not this low when you should easily be making like you say 380whp with 13.8psi on this dyno.

I have always thought it was understood across the board that Mustang was the lowest, Dynamics next... being closer to the middle of the road and closer to real world like the DynoJet
mustangs read low, but not as low as a dyno dynamics. whats annoying about all the dynos, is that none of them read consistent compared to another.

a non X factored dyno dynamics reads way lower then a dynojet, like 10+%. however, you have no idea if the dyno dynamics dyno you have is x factored or not.
