Well, I did a baseline dyno on the car today, but I am not happy with it so I think I am going to re-try tomorrow. Basically for some reason either the car is detonating and creating crazy torque spikes, or it is something wrong with the dyno. The air fuel was also in the low 13s which is a little leaner than ideal, especially in the 110 degree Vegas heat. This is the same dyno and shop I have used for all of my past dyno pulls with this car and this same situation happened to me during my original dyno pull when the car was completely stock. Back then, I got gas from a different gas station per the suggestion of the shop, came back the next day, and got a good baseline. I have another appointment for 2:00pm tomorrow that was supposed to be when I dynoed the Berk Cat-back with H-Pipe, but I think I might re-try the baseline. As the intakes may have leaned out the air/fuel ratios a bit, I am going to put the stock ones back in temporarily just as a precautionary measure. I will also get a new tank of gas from a the same gas station I went to before I got a good reading last time this happened. Not sure if any of it will work but I don't think today's dyno is a good baseline for what we are trying to do. Sorry everyone. Hopefully this will only delay dyno numbers for the exhaust one more day.
