dynoed the car today

RE: dynoed the car today
(sorry to thread jack, but I just had to chime in)
the dyno day was a last minute addition to the weekend schedule, so I did not have time to run the full tank of 87 down and refill with 93. I would have preferred to run it with the 93. should be good for another handful of ponies.
Its interesting when you start adding up the $ spent per 1 horsepower increase isn't it?
I figure my setup has netted me in the 40-48 rwhp range. (intake, tune, udp, cops and ds) and the rough estimate cost for these (due to some installation $ in there, tax and fudge factor, bad memory) is in the 1,800-1,900. That puts it into the $40-$50/hp.
If I want to go LT headers, hi-flo cats and a nice axelback (plus install in my case) this might be another 1,500 for another 30-40 hp (the shop will throw in a dyno tune, right? haha.) That's makes about the same $40-$50/hp range.
A 150 hp TS blower setup estimated at 5k comes in at $33/hp.
Things that make you go "hmmmm"
