Sticky Suggestion

[simjim89]

Hay guys was going to suggest if a sticky that runs along the lines of power results but to exact mod parts .... with before after dyno or just a feel or 0 to 60 or 100 time whatever the postie is able to get

EXAMPLE

Part : apexi pod

Car 34 25gt

Power result. 89kw before 91 after

and / or 0 - 100 = .5 second faster

and / or =ect ect

Wouldnt work because every motor behaves differently, every dyno reads different

etc

meh i suppose i thought even if all cars are bit diff and dynos you would still be able to at lest prove that before and after there was this much gain or even loss but oh wel

it's only really valid if the before dyno run was done imediately before the mod was done, without the car being driven off the dyno and if both before and after dyno runs are done within a few minutes of each other so the weather doesn't change much.

Even then it's not really valid... At dyno competitions where cars are doing 3 straight back-to-back runs, I've seen big differences in the number each time. Last time dyno comp I was in, my car made 229rwhp first run, 244.6rwhp 2nd run, and 238rwhp last run. Nothing changed between each run, still saw different numbers.

Personally I take dyno readings with a pinch of salt, they are a tuning tool not a comparison device. Like using a hammer as a ruler.
