It will go on a dyno sometime in the beginning of jan when I am finished building my friends procharged gt. He is paying for a dyno tune using SCT. So I will follow him down and strap mine on when he's done to see what it's making. Even tho dyno numbers don't mean ****.

Dyno numbers are meaningless, and I have no interest in them.

The only use I see in dyno numbers is when someone is asking you about your car. Saying "It's got 800 hp at the wheels" makes a lot more sense to most people than "It runs 9's."

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I was taking down 03 cobra's with less then 300hp and they make 370hp.

ges the only purpose i could see for them is estimating trap speeds and diagnosing problems with them.

what kind of ets are you expecting your first pass?

Im not much for drag racing, but i would love to be in the drivers seat of a car that can turn 9s and cut the 60' times your hoping for. Talk about neck BREAKING.

Do you have any photos of the boost limiting valve that you're running?
