Ignition issue. Plugs, wires or coil pack. It looks like you are dropping spark.
On top of that it looks like your knock sensor is screwing you. See at the top how it seems to just pick up a ton of power. That's your timing coming back.

how do i fix the timming issues? It doesn't show that i am knocking on my safc. With the ignition issues do you think that could just be fouled plugs?

For all of the mods you have, that is very low. You should be around 180fwhp. As mentioned before, check your plugs, wires, and coil packs. Any CELs thrown? Hesitation maybe?

Those are some sad numbers! FWIW, with similar mods to you (no tune) I dyno'd 175whp. My graph looked similar to yours, just not as bad (it also seemed as though I had possible spark/knock issues). I have since cleaned the manifolds and gotten some magnecors. Havent been back on the dyno since to see if it fixed it.

Yup. I was hoping for better, but you can see how rich Im getting up top. X-Cal 2 is next on my list. Im going to make 3 more dynojet pulls to see if Ive corrected whatever problem I was having, and also to get a more recent look at whats going on to send off to ADC. Hopefully I can get up into the 180's.

12.0 isn't that rich on a duratec. I tried everywhere from 13.5 down to 11.5. From 12 to 13 there isn't that much of a difference. It could be leaned a touch but you won't go 'Holy shirt this is better' at 12.5.
Whatever the issue it's mechanical. My guess is the coil or a wire is arching. All of your grounds are good right?

No i havent checked the wireing. To be honest I dont really know what to look for and yes there is hesitation. Does anyone know of a good place to go in the kc/lawrence area that would be able to help me?

Let's start over....Have you ever changed the spark plugs or ignition wires? You don't need a mechanic to do this.
