Dyno Testing
I found this thread on the Viper board and thought some of us in the area would be interested in a similar test for our cars to verify the tuners claims.

Heffner’s Performance hosted a Dyno Day for the Virginia-Maryland VCA today. Weather was excellent – 80 degrees. In all 14 cars were tested in a near perfect controlled environment -- all in the same way, on the same day, using the same DynoJet dyno, by the same tester (Jason Heffner). The cars are listed in order of year and best run. I’ve listed the modifications and mileage, when available. Please note that we were able to test two bone stock GTS’s (with stock filters & hoses), a 1996 and a 2000. All results are corrected for atmospheric conditions and altitude.
With careful study, there is a wealth of information here. Some of which may fuel or defuse the “Creampuff” debate. What follows are the facts – you can make your own conclusions.
Many thanks to Jason Heffner for hosting this great event!
