The previous dyno run peak was 305 whp. Today, on a much colder and less humid day, the dyno showed 321 whp, a difference of 16 whp. Of note, is that the test was run from a cold start in the winter. I interpret this result to show that even in the absolute best conditions for the intercooler a dead pump will lose 16 whp. Once the car heats up, it would no doubt kill additional 10s of whp, and in the summer we all know that a dead IC pump will kill performance entirely perhaps a drop of 80 or more whp? Others might be better qualified to estimate this... OF VASTLY greater importance, the previous peak torque with the dead IC pump was 295 and post IC pump replacement was 327, a gain of 32 max torque. Peak torque came in at 2500 rpm with the new pump vs 3800 rpm with the dead IC pump.

After performing this apples to apples dyno test (same dyno, same tech, same setup, humidity was 12% on today's run vs 23% on dead pump run), I had a Needswings SCAI installed, and the final dyno result was 340 whp. Again, max torque of 339 came on strong 1k rpm earlier.
