Looks like it was a great day guys! I'm really jealous of your setups and having access to two of our greatest assets to the community.

It was very cool of the shop owner to come in with 3 hours sleep on his birthday and work all day with you guys. That's customer service no matter what Razz thinks.

Don't fret over the absolute dyno numbers. Its the comparison to baseline that's important. That's great news that you guys were getting 20hp gains. That's the single best NA mod. we've seen yet!

Congrats and looks like it was a great time.

But it's 20 "hp" based on something that isn't measuring it properly. That could be up to 58 real horse powers!

Well is the absolute number off or the scale? If it's just an offset and it's consistent then there is no reason to think the incremental gains aren't real HP.

LOL! Don't worry, the best part was when Ray looked at Taj's engine bay and just shook his head... He tried saying something but words wouldn't come out... He was just dumbfounded and speechless, it was hilarious.
