THANKS GUYS.

there is a siginificant gain after the break in period too. The numbers i quoted were all on cars broken in 5,000+ miles

to elaborate further i've seen cars that have preformed missrubly on the dyno due to a bad break in. One guy dynoed 10 hp worse than me, but he was raceing from day one and had only changed his oil ince in the 5,000+ miles.

Mine was dynoed at about 10K miles BTW. I will probably dyno again in the fall once the weather cools down. It was sunny and about 85-90 when I dynoed and the thick GA humidity certainly doesn't help.

I'll have to let you know if I get down to Charleston sometime. I went to school at USC and go back alot for football of course. My wife and I got engaged in Charleston on top of the Wentworth mansion on the widow's walk overlooking the harbour. I have a few friends down there as well. I may get down there this fall sometime?

I've dynoed one with 142hp and 153ft-lbs. It was 97deg in the shop, and the car had 1600 miles. Bone stock. He installed a HS header, AEM intake, and Stromung cat back. I'm hoping to dyno it later next week.
