Wow! I didn't realize I was 3rd out of all the N/A's that were on the dyno. Glad to see BHR putting up some good numbers!
I suspect some of the issues with the Nitrous were more fuel related than anything else. I know that both Erick and Charles were running rather rich but since the stock o2 WB only goes to 11:1 it's only a guess as to how rich they were running. In the case of Erick I think he was running a 75hp shot with a 75hp fuel nozzle. Had he backed off to a 65hp fuel nozzle he might have seen more power. Still, the problem is he had some lean spots which could have been dangerous with less fuel.
Still, the Nitrous with his automatic hits really hard. He's about snapped my neck a couple times hitting the juice.
Jedi put down some killer numbers. 200whp with some moderate modifications and a tune is really impressive.
Thanks for posting those dyno sheets!!

I think the SAE is supposed to allow you to compare your results with other dynos but we know that isn't accurate either.

My understanding was uncorrected values are values which take into consideration the environmental conditions of the time of the dyno. Using the SAE correction is supposed to show power output as though the dyno was taken in a controlled environment.

SAE factors in the variables for the "correction" so it's closer to an accurate measurement in the "real world".

thanks man! 
THAT'S HOW WE ROLL!!!!
yeah, that was definitely a TON of work we put in to get all those cars done in one day. First car was on @ 9:00 am and I think we were cleaning up shop around 8:30 pm. Not too bad considering we had 4 new turbos that were basically seeing boost for the first time EVER and had to get significant tuning.
I dyno'd 190 whp at SR Motorcars a year and a half ago. The RP supercat + AP really helped
Your numbers are awfullyd deceiving because that nitrous kicks in with break neck force in your car. Yours FEELS much stronger then a 180 hp car
yeah man, nicely done! You had to come up big for the BHR guys because THAT'S HOW BHR ROLLS!!! 
My goal was always to break 200 and it was awesome to see that happen with a little tuning. Next up is 300 whp...
nicely done Michael! You and I have almost the exact same mods though so a little tuning could go a LONG way for your car.

I was originally going to just graph out the high pulls but just for you Shaun, I tried to put all of them on one graph so we could see the improvements / changes.

if you guys come down id be willing to go again to get my car a bit more fine tuned. i still go lean in 5th and 6th gear and id like the AFR's to be a bit more on the rich side then they are now in the rest of the gears...i see too many 12's too often...
let me know what you guys end up doing please =)

We learned a few things and reinforced things we already knew
1) Spark plugs and coils are VITAL to keeping an 8 running well.
2) Cats can go bad quickly, we think that's why Newcastle dyno'd in the 170 range when last year he was 194 on that same dyno. (he's got about 50k on his car)
3) Tuning DOES help! Look at one of my first pulls and then look at my 202 pull.
Things we learned:
Greddy's turbos are fun and when put together properly can result in some pretty nice numbers.
Apocolypse learned that the greddy intake isn't quite the P.O.S. we thought it was going to be.
