H/C disappointment update: Dyno sheet
I am making this a new thread because the other one is now 3 pages and I doubt people want to read through all it to get to the meat, so here's my sheet. It spiked at 417/397, and it wasn't fun at all dyno'ing the car in the rain in St. Pete, but hey, it's done, and now I know. Now that it is all said and done, lemme hear it.

Checked in the other thread. The numbers aren't too bad. Dyno's should only be used as a tool and nothing else. All that matters is track times IMO. Good luck with the car. My car is no dyno queen, but it still runs decent times.

never mind.. its covered up. dyno #s vary so dang much its not funny. To many factors involved.. You might read another 12 hp on the same type machine somewhere else or anothe 12 hp less.. Whats the trap speed? What was the trap speed stock?

Agree with all the others, use the nummbers as a base line only. Could not really see your A/F???
Add more fuel on the bottom end to get more torq in the lower rpm's, give you better take off
Personally I run mine with higher torq, screw the horse power, to an extent that is
