I was on a dyno day today
DSC/TC and ABS disabled. Running rich? What do you guys think?
BTW there was a guy with all Mazdaspeed loaded RX8 - body kit, wheels, full suspension, light flywheel etc. Also he has front and rear drilled/slotted rotors, Greedy exhaust, RB intake, UR pulleys, voltage stabilizer, optima battery, ground kit, oil catch tank and who knows what else.
He made 192 WHP and 128 torque. He was very disappointed. He was telling the mechanic to start looking for a 20B engine for his RX8 aiming at 700 WHP

Seeing mph I think should be 4th. I was watching the display all the time. The first run was at 3th 172 whp or something.
I don't know what flash it is. I got the car 40 days ago, build 9/04.

175 whp is pretty much average. I have seen anywhere from 170 whp to 190 whp is about average. I dynoed at 179 whp before the mods. 192 whp is not bad considering half the stuff the guy has on his car is useless.

^ Is that what people call chassis dyno? Mustang Dyno is the brand name/maker of the dyno platform. Yours is Dynapack (?), and with our 170+ HP, I would guess that it reads like a Dynojet not a Mustang Dyno. An RX-8 on a Mustang dyno would get around 140 - 160 HP.

Now I know what the mustang dyno is .

The Dynapack reads like a Dynojet, I did some searching and found a few comparisons that proved it. The difference is less than 2%, the advantage of the Dynapack is that it's a brake dyno and can vary the load, hold the car at a certain rpm and trhottle position, etc, very useful for tuning.
The other RX-7 was found to have a secondary turbo problem, it wasn't coming online. It made about 180whp on the primary at about 4400 rpm and then fell on its face.
