Mustang cars were named after the powerful horses of the same name. If you want to ensure your Mustang car is running just as it should, a dynamometer, or dyno test, will optimize its speed.

Process
-
A dynamometer test is done by driving the car over the dynamometer, a device that lays on the ground and measures horsepower and torque. The car is quickly driven to the preassigned spot and its speed and acceleration are assessed. Filter mode refers to putting in a new air filter to see if it will improve performance.
Purpose
-
Getting an accurate measure of horsepower and torque will tell you how quickly your car can accelerate and if this is normal for a car of its caliber and age. Finding out your car is accelerating slowly for its status will enable you to fix the problem and get back on the road with faster acceleration and a smoother ride.

Results
-
One of the things Mustang is known for, is its ability to accelerate quickly. A dyno test performed in filter mode that shows your air filter is slowing down your acceleration allows you to gain a faster, smoother ride, which might be one of the reasons you bought a Mustang. Additionally, slow acceleration can be dangerous in heavy traffic or at a red light.
