If you like the older, outdated version of the stook with less torque and hp.

I'm in between - I have an AP1.5! AP2 with 8500 redline!

I hope your family is doing well Terry. We going to see you anytime soon? Ever get the SC installed?

Funny how AP2 owners who mod the car decide to "raise" the redline to even 8500? If they were happy with 8000 why raise it? No more power is made in that 500 rpm.

Oh yeah DBW and CDV's FTL!

Why do AP2 owners complain about the CDV?

We all know how reliable manufacturer's published HP ratings are. On a lot of dynos, stock AP2s have shown higher rwhp ratings than AP1s.
due to gearing... gearing plays a role in HP #'s. That is why most places "try" to run the dyno in 4th or 5th so you get the 1:1 ratio and negate or slightly lessen the effects of gearing.

I could run my AP1 in 3rd and you can run in 4th. I could "show" higher HP due to my "effective gearing"

DBW - no problems. You been this early?!?

CDV - annoying but they had to install it to handle the extra power the AP2 engine produces! Not needed on AP1!
DBW maes the car feel less responsive for some reason. I drove CASTRO's car and granted I did feel a little more torque when I pressed the gas pedal it felt delayed. Also the steering felt "dead" It felt I needed more input to turn the same amount an AP1 can.

CDV was added cuz AP1's were blowing diffs w/ less TQ and HP. Must have been due to the extra 1000 rpms.

HOW SO?

DYNO's show numbers. Unless you state the conditions then the numbers are pretty much useless.

Whatever it is it's still an AP.
