Intake, Header, HFC, CBE = Too Lean?

The various atomic clocks around the world serve as the standards by which all other clocks are compared against. Is your watch accurate? Compare it against the atomic clock. There is no equivalent to the atomic clock for dynos. All we can do is disclose what type of dyno our numbers came from when we say our cars made xyz HP/TQ. People in the know will understand the significance of the number in relation to the type of dyno. And those who aren't in the know . . . well . . . screw 'em.
But we all know if you want "signature" numbers you should find a DynoJet somewhere

Or a DynaPak, if you're just after bragging rights. Of course, when people find out your numbers came from a DynaPak they'll laugh at you.

I do need to head up to Altered to get dyno'd... I put down 265.4 on a DynoDynamics with my intakes... I need a bigger number
