I am ALL about measuring HP as a percentage increase over baseline run. That will completely even out the field across the board. The problem is that not everyone gets a baseline run, so I figured this might help people get an idea of their actual HP as compared to a large number of people.
Im all about lap times now myself, the point I was just trying to make is that his numbers read low on a dyno, yet he put an amazing amount of that power to the ground effectively so who cares? heh

Well I guess in the long run this will be a good thing. That way all these people thinking that slapping a cat back and nothing else onto the car will increase their Butt dyno numbers will be quiet because the numbers will prove them wrong. We had similar things on LS1tech, but people were so well versed with the LS1 over there, that you could throw them a list of mods and people could guess your HP and torque very effectively heh.
