I think the opposite. Car should go way faster with an auto(60 fts should improve) but it may lose some MPH since its a heavy built AOD. I ran 28 inch slicks. Ill post some vids. Yea my suspension is not far from stock-93 Cobra front sway bar(disconnected at track), aftermarket member,adjustable struts in front,95 SN95 rear sway bar,FMS adjustable LCAs,cop car uppers,slot car torque arm blah blah. I need adjustable upper and lowers but it gives me away along with the sumped tank. Sumped tank being replaced too.
My Z28 should run high 10s where a stick with the same mods would probably run low 11s-we will have to see on that one though. I am considering swapping my Supra to an auto too since the ET like the Mustang sucks for the MPH.

Iv noticed built autos are hit of miss...good luck with it though, I hope it works out the way you want. I know how it feels to go the opposite. I'm switching to an mfactory 4 speed so I shouldnt have broken gear problems anymore. Should be a good race

I agree, stalled auto on a turbo car tends to yield superior ET's compared to stick. At least in the fbody world anyway so I'd imagine mustangs to have similar results. It's why all the fast cars run glides or TH400's

People who say lower reading dynos are more accurate make me lol. The dynos with a reputation for reading low are also known for being easily manipulated. Someone should make a dyno that shows stock C6 Z's making 100 rwhp. It would be super accurate

Who said it was more accurate because it reads lower? Btw you can calibrate a dyno to say whatever you want, its on a computer.

People say all the time that the numbers they got from their X, Y, or Z dyno read lower and more accurately show the true horsepower and then claim that Dynojets inflate numbers. For an example, look at post #140 in this thread.

Every Dynojet I've been on has read very close to other Dynojets, while other brands tend to spit out numbers that are all over the place based on the operator's input. From my experience a Dynojet is far more consistent than the others.

That is true, and consistancy is what you look for in tuning. My car on a dynojet made a good bit more than on the dynomite, but it is my preference to go with the lower number. Both were consistent, I think it differs by person on what they go with.

I prefer which dyno makes the highest numbers. Makes me feel better about myself
