It's up to Matt if he wants me to say what it put down. I am sure he will post the dyno numbers though. I don't think that they are a secret anymore. You will be surprised at what they are............not really as big as some people would guess. Remember what kind of dyno we have.

I think at best it put down 580 to the tires on the AP Engineering mustang dyno. Guess it doesn't take 900 hp to go what we did.

If a mustang dyno is setup correctly there is less then 1% loss between it and a dynojet. We had a mustang dyno rep come down to calibrate our dyno and set up the program. Before our dyno used to have a big difference, now it's within 1% of the dynojet.

cant we account a decent percentage of that power due to the very low drivetran loss of a liberty transmission?

You are probably right, the Liberty does help with that!

The Libertys trans is probably helping the numbers a bit but it helps the numbers at the track alot. Having 5 gears to play with is a fun ride down the track. The car never fell out of its powerband at all. Craig at Libertys picked great ratios and the 3.21 first gear and the 4.88 rear end made for a wild launch, especially the first trip down the track. I will be changing the ratios with the new combo but it will still be a wild ride I'm sure.
