If any of the participants want their dyno files, shoot me a PM with your email address and I can send them to you. You'll need to download the dynojet software but it's pretty self explanitory.

some of the #'s were showing up on Saturday as "uncorrected". I ran them all through STD corrections and that's what came out.
Geez, rough freaking crowd in here... first 2 posts and they're both questioning me.

Very interesting results... I'm curious why are the nitrous shots producing such a small boost in peak horsepower? +20whp on Ray's run seems pretty weak. Granted Ray's porting and other mods definitely seemed to make a big difference in his NA power. 212 whp sheesh!

A real shame nobody did a run with the 3071R, it would have been nice to see some dyno charts with the larger turbo. Either way, thanks for posting... wish I had been there.

hmm.. those nitrous numbers are a bit weird?

charles is doing 211 na but didn't even gain 20hp at peak on a 55 shot of nitrous?

Some of those graphs are a bit screwy because the dyno couldn't pull a tach signal cleanly on some of the cars. (I hate DynoJets.)
Probably gonna have to revert to a speed-based plot for those cars.

Also, it would be nice if the improvements were more visible, rather than just the pure outputs, which are somewhat meaningless because of the condition of the different motors.
Some of these cars picked up only 2 or 3 HP. Others made 20 more.

Mid pack with a cat and stock coils.... BHR coils coming soon and BHR midpipe whenever they start selling them. I'm thinking the SoCal Dyno day with MM and the BHR crew might have to be a yearly event.
