Listen, as easily as I could run you and this thread into the ground, I'm not going to because I know this all stems from you having more ego than you do experience on modding cars.
You seem to be missing the point still though so let me play nice again. Dynos are only as good as their ability to be consistent and give you a comparison by which to judge the efficiency of your engine and transmission. As in the actual numbers you produce vary from dyno to dyno because they are calibrated differently or just because they are in different shape from another dyno. Whats important is your ability to consistently figure out how much of a difference your modifications have made.
That is all true, but only within reason. If your car came out to 450whp (or 330 for that matter) five dyno pulls in a row, it doesn't make that dyno graph real. There has to be SOME continuity between dynos, don't you think? As in, well calibrated mustangdyne dynos should come out with relatively similar numbers, affected only by such things as wear, atmospheric conditions and the actual car (as some cars have more hp than others of the same car stock).
You made a comment about the veridity of my numbers? Let me explain to you that I started off with 256whp on a mustangdyne dyno. After doing similar bolt on mods than a lot of people did on this forums, I got very similar numbers (in fact somewhat lower) than they did on the same dynos in different places throughout the country. Also, I've got a little experience when it comes to cars. I know what 330whp feels like with a 3000lb car, a 3300lb car and a 3600lb car. I know I am a little under that for my car and so my numbers make sense for where I'm at. Go figure I can go a little faster than an e92 M3 on the straights at my local track..
So the point is, there has to be some continuity to the results. 330whp is something like 23% too high for your car on that dyno based on the consensus we've had since I joined this board. Just because the dyno says its true, it doesn't mean its true. Always take your results with a grain of salt. If you read my journal you will see that I was one of the first people who posted results for full bolt ons and that I was in disbelief about the results and the numbers I got. But then others with similar mods started making the same power on the same dyno's and it seems now that a full bolt on 370z is making around 310rwhp.
After seeing tons of 370Z's dyno on these forums, those of us who have been paying attention have been able to estimate the range of where stock cars fall for different dynos and where the different mods done to them fall on different dynos. After seeing the effects of different mods, we have also come to predict results for new mods that come out. Obviously its a new car and there are a lot of unknowns to us so far, but we know certain things already.
So you see the problem with coming in here and telling us you have 330whp on your stock Nismo and then arguing with us when we tell you that you don't. Do you see why its a little frustrating and some have even tried showing you you dont have 330whp using your quarter mile trap speed?
You make it seem like we are out on a crusade to shut you down and put you down when that is far from the case. We just hate to see someone bust in here thinking they know something we know isn't true and then arguing with us when we tell you its not true.
If you want to live in dreamland and claim you have 300whp+ and look like a complete idiot, then be my guest. It just seems it would've been a little easier to listen to us. Also you are going to have to get used to a little hazing, specially when you are new to the forum and when you are making wild claims that anyone with some experience know not to be true. Trust me that becomes apparent very quickly to those with more experience when someone else doesn't really have a full grasp of things yet.
As far as the accuracy of mustangs...they are excellent dyno's because they are consistent and accurate for comparing runs when you are doing tuning or have installed add-ons. They read lower than most other dynos, with the exception of the dyno dynamics sometimes. (which is another reason your numbers are silly). If you really have 330whp on a mustangdyne, then you should get something like 380whp on a dynapak....haha that would be nice for a stock 332bhp car.....
We might be a little rough at times, but we mean well. So instead of a fight, you get more info you ***.
EDIT: I just read your previous posts while I was writing mine and you are a jackass.
