<- Punches self in face....
Riddle me this, timing at 16 degrees, load of 200%, AFR at 10.8-10.9, boost pressure 13 PSI, I made a WHOLE 250WHP of a "calibrated" dyno........same run I pulled 4.9 Volts on the MAF Sensor in an AEM housing (no misfires either).
Which piece of equipment was probably screwed up, my engine, my log, my MAF or the dyno???? Boost is irrelevent, the MAF Volts however, tell the story of what really happened. And to prove a point, I made the dyno owner drive my car, and then refund my money.

In pdxhaks case - it's not the dyno because we saw what he made at 5 psi (which was way low) and that was on a dyno that everyone else was using and getting ok numbers on.
And - he hasn't changed his setup since .

Man I hate visiting this thread. I dont regret my car change..but I'm always going to wonder what kind of numbers my Turbo really could have put down with a good tune.

Good point, if the stock cars were all running 190 or so, then I'd be looking at my set-up as well.
At the end of the day, devistion from the standard is all you have to gauge what was done right. SO if you started at 190 and got to 290.... you will at least know that you drove off making X% more than you drove on with.

funny, this was a factory stock block car on the same dyno just three months earlier

that number for a factory car is not really unusual, people who think an S2 is a significant improvement over the S1 WRT output are kidding themselves, not to mention that you still haven't traced down the cause of the knovking sound in your engine. 1+1 = 2 in my book ...

Sweet! There is hope yet. Will make me happy to see someone else enjoying some fun power from my work 
*Raises hand* Guilty. I once thought I was seeing over 420G/s at 4.6v
Though I did end up seeing well above 4.7v range with a stock maf tube...wich I can tell you is alot of powa!

Yes and no, that is why the housing size is important. You are correct that like the SFR kit, with a 3" MAF housing, has to be scaled. But if we are close enough to the correct housing size, it can be more useful that those who scale the MAF to cover up injector scale problems, fuel VE% problems, and many other maps that people like to ignore.
