Few close friends of mine recently opened their own dyno tuning and aftermarket sales shop. Please check them out for any mods or services you're looking for. Their info will be listed on my dyno sheet.

I recently purchased an AEM Infinity and some other extras that need to be installed before my tune, so today we decided to get some baseline numbers.

Mod list:
K&N FIPK
Berk 70mm TP
Hks hi-power single

Is that an AP1? If so those are solid #s from a Mustang Dyno!

Ap2. I was prepared to be disappointed with sub-200 whp on the mustang so I was pleased with 216 / 150

I guess it says 8200rpm, I thought it said 9200. Those are still very solid #s! Would have been crazy high for an AP1 with those mods.

My 2006 AP2 DBW car peaked at 221whp on a different Mustang dyno late last summer and would love to get a run on this one. Looks very handy to me.

FIPK induction
Berk 63mm high flow cat (there is much evidence here that large diameter cat or "test pipe" is a torque killer).
Tanabe Medalion Turing dual exhaust.
Shell 93 octane pump gas.

I doubt there's very little peak horsepower either you or I will gain short of ITBs without supercharging but where the power occurs is important. The Gernby FlashPro tune moved my VTEC engagement down to 3600 rpm where the increased torque makes the car go faster faster. Your VTEC is at the OEM setting which is why you get the VTEC Yo! kick when the tach crosses 6000 rpm and the valves open more. I'm getting nearly 5000rpm of high can torque (VTEC) from 3600 until the rev limiter cuts the fuel at 8400rpm (on my car).

OEM fuel cutoff (rev limiter) is 8200 rpm. No surprise on your graph there.

Would be very nice to compare our cars at the same time and meteorological conditions.

Any additional info on this shop appreciated if they understand our cars.

Soon I'll have my ecu hooked up and we'll lower the vtec engagement and play with the timing to pull some better numbers. Eventually I'll have a Zex kit that I'll be able to fine tune with the infinity and break some v8 hearts

Before we dyno'd my car we counter balanced the dyno and also did a pull to 130mph testing for parasitic loss to make sure the numbers were as accurate as possible. The weather was perfect for some pulls today. The actual numbers vs. the wcf numbers show how close to "standard" conditions we had today (70° / 50% humidity / very close to sea level)

Sorry for the poor pic, I didn't get a digital copy of these stats

Chuck,

Where are you from? I'm up in Lorain.

The number on the dyno sheet under the company name is one of the owners cell phone, his name is Cody. He can answer pretty much any question you may have.

Nice. Might have to consider checking this one out sometime with ya Smokey.

Thanks for the info! I would like a dyno pull or two.

I'm in Broadview Hts. My supercharged buddy is in Westlake. His AP1 on the OEM ECU pulled less power than I did last fall which didn't surprise us very much. Still over 200, maybe over 210 with the same induction and exhaust on my car. The shop was using a tailpipe O2 (?) sensor and thought we were running lean despite the very stable readings right around 14.7 showing in my ECU as read thru the Hondata FlashPro data log as well as via Bluetooth to my iPad. Once he gets the SC sorted out I'm sure he'll be interested as well. Maybe the dyno operator thought we were running test pipes? Since the cat burns excess fuel in the exhaust my intuition thinks there'd be less fuel hitting the tailpipe sensor.

Perhaps a S2000 dyno love fest some weekend with stable density altitude near "standard day?"

As noted I'm more interested in the area under the curve than where it peaks although knowing that point helps in knowing shift points. The mid-range power my car now has is very nice. It comes on so quickly I installed a red line alarm to prevent bumping into the rev limiter and so I can watch the road rather than concentrate on the tach.

I don't think we're gonna squeeze much more NA peak (AKA bragging) horsepower out of these engines without significance work and expense.
