All this is why one should never compare dyno numbers from one car to another when the pulls were made on different days, different dyno, different technician, different ambient comditions. Yet we always see people bragging about their dyno numbers or crying because their car didn't dyno as high as someone else on the forum.


Please note I'm NOT specifically talking about Brian here, or anyone else on this forum. Just speaking generally.

Brian, nice to see you spending the time and money to do this.
