For what it is worth if one wants to crunch numbers on such topics in this thread see the two web sites for comparison to the dyno numbers given by the dyno shop. The real test is the 1/4 mile drag.

No problem. I dont mind helping in anyway that I can.

I'd love to see the car go down the track Steve. Be sure to keep me informed on the MPH and incrementals once you get a few runs.

Just drive it and enjoy it. A few HP ticks isn't worth getting all worked up. People who brag about HP numbers look like tools IMO. I usually just say, "It's got enough." when people ask how much HP the car has. Then, I smile and watch them give me that look like I'm full of poo. It's having that personal knowledge that I can take nearly any car on the street that matters to me even though I drive it like an ol' blue hair most of the time.

 

Try telling that to the guy who just spent big $$$ on his setup...

 

That's why I keep it stock. Plenty fast enough and reliable. To each their own! I'd rather spend the extra money on other toys like motorcycles, adding another car to the collection, and etc. It just seems like a headache to add these expensive mods only to have to worry that they don't do much. Now, the one thing I may do some day is a Needswings CAI because that is easy, proven HP. If only I can figure out a way to make it look nicer under the hood.

 

For anyone interested in number crunching, I'm starting a new thread in the Racing subforum with some interesting physics and equations for calculating HP from your ET times. I know that this is nothing new, but you can find a dozen different "calculators" on the internet that will give these numbers, but none of them have any explanation of how they got them. Over there I will give formulas and explain them so that you know what they mean and how they came about.

 

I'll let you know Charles if the weather holds out for the US 41 event, I've contacted two people that's going to be there and they are going to bring a data logger. So I can see about getting my ECU re-tuned, I think I'd already said that RENNtech would like to see the data logs before the re-tune.
I'm not picking on waldig, but he is the only one that posted a Mustang dyno sheet that had some mod's on the car. Does anyone else find it odd that my car put down 20 more rwtq than rwhp and waldig only put down 1 more rwtq than rwhp? I know - I know it's just numbers, but like ChicagoX said "try telling that to a guy that has put big $$ in his setup"
