Look at mph on the 1/4 instead.Only use a dyno if you have a before and after readout when work is done, to see the % gains (even this could be fudged though) from mods and a tune.

Happy days :DMy tune is linear so it does kinda feel slow from the drivers seat, when I'm in the passengers seat I am amazed at how quick the car actually is.

thecook Member 47 Member For: 13y 7m 12d Posted 23/03/14 04:16 AM Author Share Posted 23/03/14 04:16 AM thanks for the feedback its just alot of people go by dyno # and as there are so much variances in read outs people are not really getting what they think there getting. and more often than not $$$$ equals kw more you spend the more power youll have and with these huge difference's who to no.only the 1/4 mile track will give you 100% unbias feedback.
