Look at the prints in that picture! Car will never be the same now.... :D

I won't thread jack with a dyno discussion -- and I didn't cut and paste all the resulting documentation - but this test is just one of many...

West Automotive Performance Engineering has developed a proprietary device that independently measures a vehicle's actual speed and acceleration. This device is similar in operation to a fifth wheel but doesn't use accelerometers that can be influenced by the vehicle's body tilt. Using the vehicle's speed, acceleration, and weight (mass) and the application of simple physics equations, the exact horsepower and torque can be calculated. The horsepower and torque measured by West Automotive Performance Engineering's dyno is actually the horsepower made-good, or the horsepower left over to accelerate the vehicle after all the aerodynamic and rolling-friction losses have been overcome. These losses were accounted for and included West Automotive Performance Engineering's dyno so that a comparison with a chassis dynamometer can be made. The Mustang dyno includes the aerodynamic load that it places on the drivetrain as part of its reported rear-wheel horsepower and torque. Stated another way, the Mustang dyno does not measure the horsepower made-good.
Graphs 7 and 10 show the horsepower and torque versus rpm in Second and Third gear, respectively, for the Dynojet dyno, the Mustang dyno, and from road testing with the dyno from West Automotive Performance Engineering. You can see that the horsepower and the torque, as measured on the road, are closer to the Mustang dyno measurements. Also from the acceleration tests you can see how the Mustang dyno loads the vehicle very closely to how it will be actually loaded on the road. Based on our test data, the Mustang dyno loaded our test vehicle and measured the rearwheel horsepower closer to what the vehicle experiences on the road.

Man that car is pretty :thumbsup: . Awesome interior, engine compartment, etc, etc..

Are you not running a passenger seat?

Also wondering why the car is so heavy. Your an easy 600 lbs heavier than me. I always thought the 67's and 68's were alot lighter than the '69's.

Casanova claims to be around 3600 also.

Yeah she's a little dirty in there Cris. Come on. :lol:

How many and where are all your nozzles on the fire system?

BTW, love the on board fire system---everyone should have one of those--including me--a must have.

Again, i see that if Gonzo is involved...The Build is incredible....


Man you do some sweet work...Well Done..:cheers:

You are welcome Cris, I'm glad that they worked out for you. They look even better with your finishing touches.

And it just keeps getting better. One of my favorite builds--being able to go for a run around the auto cross in the car at Del Mar was a highlight. Next time I get Weld money, i'll drop my car off at your shop and just let you come up with stuff like you did on this one---amazing.

He laughs and says it's the fire suppression system. My thoughts? Now that's KOOL!!
