Happy Dyno

[thecook]

After not sure about my dyno readout went and got a second opinion from someone has a reputation for not pulling any punch's and there was a 70 RWKwasps different in my car and it still drives the same as it did from day uno.

Has anyone had the same issues?

Yep.

Ignore dyno numbers if you can. Look at mph on the 1/4 instead.

Only use a dyno if you have a before and after readout when work is done, to see the % gains (even this could be fudged though) from mods and a tune.

a more linear tune will feel slower

I recently learnt that dyno number dont mean too much, my car read 310rwkw on the dyno and I left the shop a little disappointed.

Took the car to the strip and went 126.3MPH at 11.6 seconds on the small baby FG turbo with cheap Achillis tyres. Happy days :D

My tune is linear so it does kinda feel slow from the drivers seat, when I'm in the passengers seat I am amazed at how quick the car actually is.

1/4 mph vary with different things so is not as accurate as most will have you believe although takes away an operator trying to make numbers higher

Would be good to see what time your car would run with et streets, that's good mph for the fg turbo

Awesome time

Gotta be happy with that

thanks for the feedback its just alot of people go by dyno # and as there are so much variances in read outs people are not really getting what they think there getting. and more often than not $$$$ equals kw more you spend the more power youll have and with these huge difference's who to no.

only the 1/4 mile track will give you 100% unbias feedback.

Yep as said above, best to use the same dyno to get a baseline then measure changes that you make rather than get strung up on the overall numbers....
