I'm thinking it should be more. You can't increase your trap speed by 2-3mph with just 18 additional ponies. Perhaps track conditions also played a part in that higher trap speed?

I don't give a Shiite what Dinan says. Same Dyno, same conditions, same dyno tech, everything constant save the Dinan upgrades, the post Dinan results should show a gain. Period. :thumbsdown:

Really good times, what track conditions do you have there, and what tire/diff setup? Is the car an automatic? I would be really happy with 13,99@100mph :-P

Jesus, did you do the first one at the North Pole?? J/K

Anyway, I don't know how those two conditions affected your results. Do track times compensate for temperature? My main point was that if everything else was constant and you got a 2-3mph improvement in your trap speed, then you did get a good gain in hp. Dynos aren't the be all and end all solution.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do next guys.

What launch rpm are you using to get the 2sec 60ft time with an open diff? I have hard time of getting that launch time with quaife and automatic on concrete road. Did you have somekind of glued road? Did you do a burnout before? With an open diff 2 burns are needed... Do you have cdv deleted or just modded?
