They may be using the lesser known, and lesser rated "killerwatts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also make sure that they log boost and importantly AFRs.Nice number though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 22y Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 28/11/07 03:41 AM Share Posted 28/11/07 03:41 AM That is a very high figure for a F6, compared to what we have seen on dd, mainline and dynapack dynos.Looks like it's about 30-40rwkw higher than normal (in Australia). Must see boost levels, as it could be overboosting..Are you running with a cat installed?Ask your tuner to use DIN correction not SAE, and I'd expect to see a lower figure, and something more like I'd expect to see.Although the diff states 4.1, whereas actually it is 3.73, that will not impact power figures.Ask your tuner to print the tcf value on the sheet, just to confirm that he is not using a factor other than 1.Is this an auto or manual?Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they read higher than rollers??Only when the wheels loose traction on the rollers. should be +/- 1-5rwkws on stockers or lightly moded cars..Ozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
