How to test performance mods

I have some goodies to fit to my car & would like to do some before & after tests that will give some meaningfull results . Am looking for suggestions on what tests to do from some of the more experienced modders here .

I have :
G tech
Hymee scanalyser (coming)
Dynoing car tomorrow for first time (and fitting clutch/Flywheel afterwards)

Don't have access to 1/4 mile strip

Mods fitted
Piggyback EMS (powermod) - this can easily be set to zero
catless midpipe

Not yet fitted :
Act Prolite flywheel
Act clutch
Racing beat ram air duct
Agency Power UD pulley

Thanks for your suggestions

Check out the adjustable powerband ! - only 249.95 for more low end torque .
A must for the 8 .

Easiest test for comparing would be a dyno. 1/4 mile runs can vary from run to run.

Brett, if you're still serious about using what you have to do performance analysis, p.m. me and we can talk about the protocol I typically use and what information can be gleaned from proper use of the G-Tech.

its all fitted now so the Gtech runs + a few hand timed 80-120 in gear runs I did before are all I have .
