Hey jran,

It was a dynojet from Redline Performance in Arlington off California and Cooper St. Yeah I know not to compare dynos but seeing the same numbers is a little disconcerting.

Anybody,
Are these good numbers for the mods I have on my car???
235whp and 225tq.
Again I've only had my car since May of this year and will ALWAYS have the mod bug.
Thanks!

Seriously, it's not even with discussing since it's not on the same Dyno. Saying that you know they are different dynos and you shouldn't compare then proceeding to continue doing so is just gonna leave you frustrated. You want to know whats up, remove all mods, go back to stock ecu tune and dyno, then put the mods back on, tune and dyno, same shop (same day would also be a plus).

We had a dyno day where stock RevUp-engined G35 coups were putting down around 240 hp to the wheels. That was at Corvettes of Dallas on I-35, so if you want another option you can go and get dynoed there.

You can have as much as 40whp difference between one dyno and the other!

Yea, my 06 up down 242hp (don't remember torque) with just a z-tube and plenum spacer. Your numbers are definitely higher than the other pre-06 models that day.

Hey Mad,
Removing my mods isn't in the cards for me. ($$$) It would be a plus as you said though. I think I will try out the dyno at Corvettes of Dallas to see the difference. As in my sig I'm an Automatic and don't have the Rev Up so the 20hp difference from MT to AT is a factor. I didn't know that there would be such a huge difference from one dyno to another, especially 40whp! How much does C of D charge for 3 runs? Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info BOB.

This was just the Z/G guys mostly. Now would be a good time with this cooler weather though. I'm sure they do dyno's whenever, and you could mention about us and maybe they would give you a discount. I know Chris (3hree5ive0ero) had issues and they said to come back another day to get some clean runs.

You should have it at Corvette. It's cheap and we already have numbers on that machine.

That could be an option if Cobb is not available. The plan with Cobb was also to build relationships... car clubs are a business baby!

Realize they are in ground. I remember thinking that the Cobb dyno had huge rollers that are about the size of standard speed bumps. I would hate to hear a nasty crunch when I set my wheels between the rollers.
