I'm thinking it was calibration.

All other Mustangs in the Dyno thread read 145 to 156 for stock N/A.

But it worked for tuning. We knew the limitations before we began but we didn't expect the wierd numbers and for them to be lower than other Mustangs.

Mustangs.. ummm... Did I tell you I test drove the 300 HP GT?

Doesn't feel any faster. With the weight differance I'm sure I'm very close to matching or beating a stock one.

Who cares.. at least I'm not a snail anymore.

Track day is coming up so it will be interesting to see me race down the straight againt 6 other RX8's.

That will be the true test of the power increase of the AP

Konig, its better that you didn't, you'd probably go on a rambling rage about how I am not taking good care of my car (which I am)

I accept your challenge, when is this joyous occasion? is nitrous allowed on the track?

Actually, everyone's car was pretty clean. Some of the cars look dirty because their front bumpers don't match the rest of the cars paint , and some have a bunch of fingerprints on the front from people working on them, like slavearm's car, but other than that, they were pretty clean.
Don't pay attention to the 7's, they were at the shop being worked on, and probably haven't been washed in a while.

I thought you had to be 18 years old to buy spray paint in CA.

negative ghost rider. I'm in the office all day catching up on work. I'll try and swing by there around 6. I got a hunch Yoshiya will still be there.
