A local dyno shop had a small car show and $30 for the dyno. Dad decided to haul the car down and have it run, just for fun. Everything was great, but...
For some reason one of the employees had issues with the car. He must have thought it was an auto because within a few seconds of getting it it, no clutch, he jammed the shifter stright into 3rd. With a synchroed tranny this would just grind, but with the Jericho it slammed into gear, lurched and stalled. Got it back on, he backed it on (Mustang dyno) and got it strapped down. Everytime the guy let off the clutch tho the car was VIOLENTLY hopping, to the point he had to clutch in and rev it higher to get it running through the RPM smooth. Not sure what the issue was, other than figuring with the big cam he was just too low in the RPM. They finally got it going alright and ran it...

Nothing insane but decent numbers for a Mustang dyno. A cool day on a dynojet, maybe 485/450 or so, but he cares very little about dyno numbers. Just decided for $30 he couldn't pass it up.
Also to note as we were about to leave an 03 or 04 Cobra was waiting to hit the dyno. The employee hopped in, and proceeded to, you guessed it, stall the car. Kind of amusing, even though it's no big deal, but I would hate to see my car getting stalled and such.
