Id be interested to see you dyno it at another location with the same type of dyno and see how similar the results are.

I accept that challenge. I've been witness to a ton of dyno's there and alot of them seem to fall where they should, some even lower than I would've thought. I'm inclined to disagree with the statement that EVERY car that's passed through those doors dyno's higher than it should. That's a pretty bold statement. Not to sound belligerent or like a prick but "every" is bold. We also overlapped a bunch of dyno's of other sequentials that had been there and they were all right were you'd expect them to be.

I'll admit, I'm curious though. After we get her settled to 15lbs I'll hit a local dyno. There's one literally 1/2 mile from my house. They have a DynoJet 424x. I BELIEVE Dave has a 242x. Either way I'm not going to be able to find a 2wd dyno around here. Too many scubi's and devolutions running around. When she's set to 15lb's I'll be able to trim the boost back with the trim switch on the dash. Before I leave Dave's I'll make one run @ 9lbs, and the last at 15lbs. That day or the next I'll head to one of the 2 local guys and make the same two runs and put the results here.

Auto/Manual swap car, stock ecu, 8lbs, sequential, full 3 inch exhaust with a carbon ti muffler, pettit intake, simplified sequential, greddy pullies and I think a pettit underdrive pulley but cant remember. I dont think I have had a car to this day that pulled like that one on 8lbs. Before I sold it I installed a pettit ecu and ran it on 14lbs(didnt know better back then) and I swear that car had to be making close to 350rwhp as it pulled like no other stock sequential car I have been in since. Some cars/setups just work better than others, sounds like yours is running good.

Thank you. Honestly, in my case, I'm inclined to think that it's the package itself as a whole. Everything that I've done to make things as effiecent as possible. All the ceramic coating, the porting, polishing, portmatching, HMIC, just everything coming together to be one really sweet well matched package. Of couse the insane tolerances and time spent rebuilding the engine didn't hurt either
