Ok, looking at my charts, the air was less dense meaning "No" things were not the same, but that it was far from in my favor for getting big numbers. By looking at this, the numbers I did achieved are real, and there was even room for more if it wasn't so hot and humid.

You make a good point. I did have the car dynoed last in December on a nice cool morning. This tune was the day after the hottest day of the year. I know temp is not the only factor. But Im pretty sure if all things were equal, I would have shown even higher numbers. The fact that I just tuned under less than ideal conditions gives me a pretty good feeling that the car is not showing any "higher than they should be" numbers.
But I do agree, for mod to mod power gains, a corrected dyno is best. However, I like to know what I am at right now and what I will be racing at this time of year. I prefer an uncorrected dyno.

that was a while ago!I'd go right to the Phadt setup, I'd want the bottom line!
The real question, how does it feel now?

But judging by the major difference in a few freeway pulls, it was quite an increase in power. Never been able to hit it at 70+ and be thrown back

I wouldn't think it would affect mph unless it saves weight. MPH will show the HP gain.
ET is all about hook.
I believe you said the track you run isn't a real full time dragstrip?
BTW...I ran a kid in a 2013 M5 a few weeks ago. Reminded me of you and the Beemer you were tussling with. The kid wanted me. I beat him by over 10 car lengths. He follows me down the return road flashing his brights, pulls up to my pit spot and tells me I left too early and he wanted to try agian. Too funny. I had a .005 light.......11.25 to his 12.90. I said not right now...maybe later.
