| Just as in Race One, Race Two had a large amount of time between qualifying and the race. Some teams checked on their cars and tried to relax, APM decided to dyno their car. |
 |
| The mobile dyno on hand for Auto Club Speedway was the same MSE dyno that was used at Sonoma Raceway in 2012 that found Edo Stepanyan to be overpowered. This would serve as baseline test of the car for this weekend. |
 |
| With very, very modest modifications to the car, which you can see on our Feature Article on the APM FR-S, the team was curious to see if the ECU had in fact learned and reset itself to its OEM power level. We've seen this on our own Project FR-S. Would both cars be consistent on this discovery? |
 |
 |
| It was determined that the car was only making between 170-176 HP, in other words it had reset itself to the OEM power levels. It is amazing the lengths the OEMs are going to ensure they save you from yourself and themselves from warranty claims. |
 |
| The plan of attack for Round Two in Willowsprings would now be to install a supercharger and get this car to the proper weight to power ratio of 12:1. Then, it will be time for the FR-S to show what kind of race car it's meant to be. I'm sure Richie can't wait! |
