For this dyno, technically our pull should be made in third gear, but for downshifting reasons during wide open throttle we're gonna make the pull in 2nd gear. These numbers will be slightly lower than if we were to pull the truck in 3rd gear. This particular 351 Windsor and the 1st Gen Lightnings, in general, were rated at 240 Horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque at the flywheel. Our base initial timing is set at 12 degrees, now let's start the dyno!
