Default Dyno'd today...wow...

This time, i was actually able set the car up for the dyno. Had it nice and cool, forced air and LOW humidity. ice bags on the intake, the WORKS!!!

NOTE: this was on a Dynapack (hooks up to the hub).

535rwhp and 567rwtq

wow... thats nuts! 4 other cars ran and their numbers were about 10-20rwhp/20-30rwtq higher then regular dynojet numbers. My typical dynojet numbers are 520rwhp and 500rwtq.

those numbers were not spikes either on the runs, the car was run 3 times and all were fairly consistent.

anyways, i was quite pumped. hope to get back to the strip sometime this yr and run that mid upper 10s. we'll see...

anyways, just letting you all know...
