a couple of us went there the last one. still dont think its dyno'n right. one of the guys had stage 2 and they dyno'd him UNDER 200hp all 3 runs???? should have around 245hp.

with just the K&N replacment air box mod and exhaust i was showing right at 200hp

one of the bone stock s/c guys was showing the same hp as the one with stage 2 both were around 170-180hp stock and stage 2??

I found a post somewhere earlier today that said a few others were dynoing way under 200 with stage 2 and its because of head gasket failure I think they said.

Me, Japeatr, and Mines_Better went to a speed shop in Carrollton. They said if we can get at least 10 cars together that they would do a Dyno Day for $25 per person without A/F and $35 per person with A/F. I also went to Speedtek on one of the Dyno Day GTG but feel my dyno numbers were low as well. 75 HP loss through the drivetrain of a RWD seems a little excessive. This shop in Carrollton gave me my latest Dyno numbers. I'm not completely sold on SpeedTek's equipment as a lot of people that went to that shop at the last GTG

Air/Fuel ratio. Its a pretty good indicator of how efficient your engine is running. The higher the air to fuel ratio, the leaner you are running which means you need larger injectors or a tune that will let you add more fuel. A low Air to fuel ratio means you are running too rich. With forced induction you'd probably rather want to run more on the rich side than on the lean side since the quickest way to dial in your A/F would be to go with a smaller sized pulley which will give you higher boost and more air allowing you to get to the magic 12-13 Air to fuel ratio.
