Logan wanted to add a little nitrous to his 1986 Mustang GT to get a little rowdy. We threw it on the dyno and made some serious torque numbers!

Logan Linley is back on the dyno for a third time with his 1986 Mustang GT. Since the previous dyno run, Logan's Fox Body is rocking a Nitrous Outlet X series wet kit, a set of ceramic-coated SVE shorty headers, one step colder plugs, and a few other odds and ends to complement the addition of nitrous.
