You know what I mean... Dyno A doesn't consider one unit of power the same as Dyno B. % gains are going to be most useful if you're comparing two different Dyno's of the same make. I don't really think that kind of comparison is going to hold up across different dyno's since their methods of measuring power are totally different. Not to mention all the correction factors that go into a Dyno Dynamics vs. something like a DynoJet which is very basic.

I wish all dyno's would get calibrated to the same measurements so we didn't have to try and compare apples to oranges :shakes head:
Oh, no problem at all! I think it's just important that we all understand the differences involved. I don't want people saying, "Injen says +15whp but Steve only got 6.9 whp, they are totally lying!" Or people saying, "The Stillen G3 gets +18whp but the Injens only get 6.9whp!"

That's just not healthy.

true, and my knowledge of both dyno's is still limited, as I have not taken the time to dyno my car and learn the differences. Just seemed to me like something was out of whack when Tony as only 5hp higher than you with full breather mods.

anyways, like I said, not trying to argue with ya :tup:

Guess I need to just decide to go with Injen or Stillen now, gains look good, will probably wait until my exhaust is one my car before I buy a different intake. Thank you for doing the dyno and getting results.

:iagree:

thats why I wish we could get some dyno shoot-outs on the most popular setups. manufacturers all mail their setup to one person who dedicates a day at the dyno. do some baseline pulls, then part a, then part b, then part c...etc.

compare all the graphs and you know you are finally looking at consistent data.

Until then (which will likely be never), go with your gut feeling on which part will work best for you!

Well I'm out for right now guys, I have to go and pick up my new living room furniture. Be back to play later. :)

Any idea when R2C is coming out with their intake for the 370? I know they were testing it last week. No news is not good news....
