Am I saying that your graph doesn't support your power claims? No of course not, I never saw the graph so how could any of us, but I am saying that is very unusual and maybe, just maybe something funky is up with that dyno with how it reads.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm VERY curious to see what this dyno graph looks like though. Post it up when you get a chance as to shoot down the nay sayers..

No one's confused or trying to call you a liar bro. There's a pretty good reason why people doubt that you made 460wtrq even on e85.... that's because aside from yours, no one has ever seen a stock turbod lnf make that much wtrq nor is the turbo really supposed to be able to support that.

Agreed, I remember it looking like a mountain straight up than straight down it definitely doesn't hold power throughout.. but I should have gotten corrected #s lol it would be much more believeable. (I wanted to keep uncorrected that day in hopes of winning highest HP 4 Banger). :thumbsup: didn't happen Anyway ......:-/

Uncorrected or not, there shouldn't be a 80-100wtrq (21-27%) disparity over common wtrq numbers for his setup between the 2 even at his altitude and not have it drastically effect his whp numbers (which it didn't seeing that he's making 355whp). Maybe there's a rediculously quick high spike? I don't know... Hense me asking to see his dyno sheet just to see what it looks like.

Its a cool number to see on paper but is doing almost nothing except stressing the car and aggravating wheel spin. Plus the spike is probably happening at or below 3500rpm. By 4k u are down to ~400tq and slowly falling.
What clutch are u running?

Good point. And currently on my third stock clutch at just shy of 30k miles. To my surprise they keep replacing it under warranty so i plan on riding that out as long as I can. I'm sure they will void me soon...

lol.. did he? Didn't look like it to me.
Anyways, anyone questioning his numbers wasn't doing so to turn this into some sort of pissing match ESPECIALLY between anyone that hasn't seen the dyno graph, which we of course have not. They are simply unusually high torque numbers, no matter what altitude or correction factor (or lack there of). It's pretty logical to question something so far off from the "norm".

Funny thing is I put a flex fuel badge on my trunk, a tech asked me this car came flex fuel? I never thought they did. I replied it didn't come flex fuel but I tuned it to run e85...he just laughs and says its a nice car man ....lol

I know first time my clutch started slipping I took it in expecting a huge bill at the end, they called me back to pick it up had me and to my surprise just handed me my key and let me go. Second time they did ask a few more questions up front and I never denied anything still covered it lol. Last time which was less than 2 months ago, I brought it to a different dealer closer to my new place, again a lot if questions up front I told the truth it was covered...

****, my local dealer gave me a hard time about my trans mounts and dp (not even knowing anything else that was done to the car) when I went in to get my steering column replaced. They straight up wouldn't touch the car and even threated to void my warranty.

lol! You're pretty fortunate to have not 1 but 2 pretty lax dealers close to you.
