    lol i'm not from az i know about air quality. i know the diff in et's from a neg da da to a post da day. I know the diff between a correction from a winter dyno pull to a middle of the summer dyno pull and its not that diff. I can post time diff between neg 500 da's and positive 1000+ da's and well its only a couple mph not 5 or 6 its 1 or 2. Now let me teach an old dog a new trick..you do realize that it takes more then 1 rwhp to raise your speed by 1 rwhp. only thing i'll agree with you on is a dyno is more for tuning purpose but it does allow for a range and est of what a car should run. I say a range because old man there are other factors a senile old man might not knowif its called traction and weight. The key factor is your power to weight ratio. Also did you know that a dyno correction factor compensates for weather and give you "The actual HP figures"yes they are still a little off but again not 50+ rwhp like your et states. What are you going to tell me next elevation and da's dont have an effect on your et

    I guess there's no hope for you.

    Little man
    You'll NEVER know as much about cars and there's nothing that YOU could ever teach me.
    Here's an old military saying that's very appropriate for you when it comes to cars and racing.
    "STAY IN YOUR OWN PAYGRADE, SON!"

    Lets See 3440 and 115 Trap

    408 Flywheel HP
    18% Drive Train Loss
    334 RWHP

    You could very easily have a correction factor that would allow close to 334 RWHP.

    Yep............18% is just a bit high for a 3650, but close enough for argument sake.
    Another twist to the mix was my 4:11 gears.

    For Mr. DynoRacerRuckus:
    Short gears tend to lower HP figures ON THE DYNO.

    dude you dont even know me and your calling me a dyno queen. Ask Eades he knows how my car runs. I'm not big on dyno just on facts. Fact is your full of shit end of story. You might have the slip but its an error either on the towers part putting in thewrong number, your looking at the long wrong lane...do you know your left from your right?,or the sensors were off. Must be nice having a chevy rear in your car since your running 4.11's. I ran 4.10s but they were to small for a 2v bumped up to 4.30s. That twist is et and 60' not mph if anything that actually would go down. I wish i was god and could dial in my suspension like you i knownothing about it my cars spin all over the place
