I can tell you firsthand that at WOT, the whipple sounds like a 747 spooling up.

You know, I had a nice response typed out for this, but this question is just so dumb I'm not even going to bother.

Huh? Most centri's are quiet, except at idle. If you want sound, go roots type (Roush).

Roush sounds great, but doesn't perform that great. Here's what the whipple sounds like on the dyno.

Whipple and Saleen both have a good whine.

My roush has a really loud whine, especially after putting the cai in, but it is still hard to hear it fully because of the slp loudmouth's

Moose, a portable dyno???????? That could be one of the reasons you got crappy #s.. When was the last time that thing was calibrated? I imagine it takes a helluva beating being haules around.... Just my $.02
