Ok, well at least he is getting a little better since moving to the right side of town. How about a promise that we don't have to take anyone that lives west of DFW?Quote:

I've already got a box to keep it in.
OK so here's a question: are manufacturers starting to under-rate their cars' HP numbers? Here's a dyno sheet for a stock Civic Si making MORE than the advertised crank HP at the wheels.
These results appear to be fairly typical. What gives? :scratch:

Well, they (the auto makers) know that the enthusiast's butt dynos are so well tuned that they (the enthusiast) will know better and feel like they're getting a great deal.Quote:

The higher line also looks like something was added to make it spike that much higher than the other lines.
Here's a good read if you're bored. Church Automotive is a well-known RSX shop; I'm sure they are doing Si's by now as well.
Dynojet vs Dynapack
Shush, you! I like the spike! And I like the 199hp number. ::Clown::Quote:

Sounds like the shops that use Dynapack need to make sure they learn how to set them up (on the software end of it) and calibrate them properly.

Hey Matt... You get your car yet???
::Fruity::
The question I have is... I know the SAE changed how to calculate horsepower and the automakers changed to that new standard... but did the the local dyno guys get updated software for their equipment?
NO, NOT YET TODD THANKS FOR ASKING ::Fist::Quote:
