Kudo's to Ken and Francisco for running 11.6's but they had live rearends. Got eliminated in the second round by a 10.23 on a 10.23 dial in...

    Apten dyno results

    Dyno resuts from last night were 473+ rwhp and 456+tq. Peak to peak hp gain was +33. The Apten held power curve all the way to 6500 where the sock Eaton started to run out of gas at around 5500. Tq also held up better. I'm pretty happy. If I can figure out how to post dyno sheet , I will.
