That is in the margin of error.... 3HP is not too big a deal.

Let's wait for the curves....I think that may help tell the tale.

I think they are absolutely worth the money and I'll have them back on my car soon.
I'll post details when I throw up the Dyno Results thread, but for now lets just say even though I was a bit disappointed with what happened, I cannot say enough about the way the BHR team sprung into action to diagnose the car and how well it was handled.

I put down the highest numbers even though CRH dyno'd 211, it's not a fair comparison due to the porting of his engine. he gets his own special category.

I think a few others were in the 190 range giving Ray and I a run for our money!

After dyno'ing, we went down to a restaurant / bar to just unwind a bit. THAT'S HOW WE ROLL!!!!

No worries, we'll get you straightened out.

I'll post up my still photos and see about getting my video uploaded. I'll take care of it tomorrow as after a long dive and getting pulled over not once but TWICE and getting ticketed by DPS I am ready for bed.

CORRECTION: 213.

I had Jeff start the dyno at 2,000 RPMs so I could see the daily-driving implications of the torque curve. Once Jedi posts the sheet I will explain what we are looking at in greater detail.

BTW, I will start to test the factory airbox for restrictions soon.
