after long tube install i picked up 20 rwhp and a ton of tq, but does not feel as stong. the only thing i can figure is my tq curve is flat now, so i dont feel it pull. check out dyno sheet.

if your torque curve is more flat that just means you will have more constant acceleration, it should still pull you just wont feel it climb. I think the problem here is that your clearly missing some boost. Add a turbo and you will get your power back fast

thanks for the info. yea a turbo would be nice, but gotta take a mod break.

People put too much stock in dyno numbers.

naw just using it as a tool, i was going more by the butt dyno. fig flat torque curve was the reason i was not feeling it.

to increase torque in my car I use a long handled screw driver. Generally feel the low end acceleration as I turn and it begins to level out with rusty screws

The change in exhaust sound/volume will do more to affect your 'butt dyno' than the actual power change IMO. People put too much stock in a dyno, but they put way too much stock in a butt dyno. Your powerband probably shifted up a bit.
