Re: APE S2 dyno #'s

How much less does Mustang dyno read than DynoJet?

Re: APE S2 dyno #'s

Those are good #'s with a 9" on a Mustang Dyno.

Re: APE S2 dyno #'s

This is all "dyno" talk but you are down about 30RWHP through the Mustang dyno (Versus dynojet), 18-22 through the 9 inch and ~8 (I think) through the ET streets.
So your numbers are quite good and you should run low 11's high tens in the right setup <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: APE S2 dyno #'s

A DynoJet will read 5% higher than a Mustang Dyno. In you situation that is 19RWHP. The ET's cost you another 15 RWHP. Combined, that would put you at 419 RWHP on a DynoJet while using regular tires. This is not shop talk. This is from actual experience. Shop talk is free and that is all it is worth.

Re: APE S2 dyno #'s

Thanks for all the replies guys! Alot of people think that APE is just a typo. APE-Automotive Performance Engineering in Clinton Township, MI. They do great work and as you can see they put out some respectable #'s. The best part is their package is very well priced under $3000 for heads, cam, gaskets, and all bolts needed for the install. I went the best of 11.65 @118.54 w/ 1.58 60ft. On this run I was still spinning a bit of the line, so I lowered the pressure down to 8psi. cold. Did my burnout and dropped the clutch at 5500rpms. Went about 5ft. and blew apart my rear u-joint caps <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Broke the lower adj. bolt on my BMR torque arm also. The car hooked really hard on this run, would have been better than 11.65, but I was happpy with the results! This was the first time to the track since I finished the car, it ran a 11.72 off the trailer and never went into the 12's the whole weekend!
Hopefully after a rear drag sway bar, relocation brackets, Hals and some weight reduction I can see some bottom 11's and maybe 1.50 60fts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: APE S2 dyno #'s

Some of you might remember Kevin's car as one of the cars involved in the double breakout at the Thunder Shootout! His was the white one that broke in the Modified Manual class. I had a good view as I was in the water box at the time! Here's some pics of the damage:
