Rob, one pull isn't enough to get a good idea of what power your car is making or the air/fuel ratio. Do a minium of three pulls. This will provide an accurate average with respect to engine temperature.
Regarding things you can do on the dyno while you're up there, the only thing you could really do would be to experiment with timing via a timing aduster, install a throttle body, or install a cold air kit/air filter. Any of those could be done within the hour, although if you do the throttle body (depending on which one you use), you might need to gasket-match the intake manifold to see the best gains.

Rob, is this your blown 98 cobra? If so, your options are limited compared to a 5.O. Remove the air filter? Add a bottle of octane booster?
When is your appointment? Its been a few years since I've seen you. You use to be this thing we call "A 5.O guy" ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
