Sorry to hear your story.

I must feel discouraging, but know this, there are a few honest companies producing mods that do work.
Are you saying DINAN is not honest?

HELL YES! And while you're at it, put in a Turbonator too.

They said the car had to be faster. I told him that prior to the mods I went
to the racetrack and ran a 13.8. If I significantly improved my quarter mile time
i wouldn't care what the dyno results were.

So last night I went to the racetrack again and guess what I ran......13.7
I should remind you that the first time I had runflats and now i had PS2's
which is what caused the tenth of second decrease. I made 8 passes and 4
out of the 8 were 13.7.
All your E.T. shows is an improvement in traction. The trap speed will show the horse power. What were the before and after trap speeds? 13.8 @ ??? and 13.7@ ???

IN fact,if you can, post the break down for the best slip of each day at the track.... 60, 330, 660, 1000 and 1320, and include MPH for each increment if you have it.

Try asking for Chris MacNaughton. He used to be a member here. I just forgot his extension.
