Thank you for the comments and feedback!

Firstly, let me clear up why we run in 3rd gear. In all reality, a dyno is a tuning tool. 10 different dynos on 10 different days will read 10 different numbers. We certainly understand folks using them to compare the power of their cars to others, however the primary use of a dyno is to confirm the delta. The gains. That's all we use ours for. We choose to dyno in 3rd gear for safety reasons. Every car that runs on our rollers is in 3rd. In many of the European cars, you have to be as 6th or 7th gear to be at a 1:1 ratio. The last thing we want is to have a car on our dyno doing 170+ MPH when all we really need to do is a quick 3rd gear pull to confirm the baseline and then the gains.

With that said, there are three things on this dyno sheet that should be examined. The gain of 14whp, the gain of 9wtq, and the improvement in the overall powerband while using the terrible 91 octane found here in AZ.

Any further questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to fire away. Happy to assist.

-Todd
