So, what's up with Buffalo dyno days?

[mkii@nycap.rr.com (Josh Able)]

:P

the numbers were actually higher than I figured they would be. I changed out
my stock 4.0bar fpr which was giving the car way to much gas down low, for a
3.0bar fpr. I noticed more gains down low, but I also knew I lost a good
chunk near the top. I was guessing about 245 at the wheels with 17 pounds
boost, instead Im at 258hp with a 10lb-ft torque improvement. Of course this
is with two different brands of dynos..but..

sadly that BMW has the power a bit more evenly spread out in the power band
:P

SDS might just help me out a tad in this!


As for Jason's VR6, that car produced damn nice numbers, and then with just
changing the intake to get 19 more!!

Makes it even more impressive that Bens 16v mkI can hang with Jason with
ease. :D
