Alex's car was tuned to perfection the night before with race fuel and made sub 600whp on our dyno dynamics. Unfortunately, the spark plugs gave us all they had and misfired during the first dyno pull at Z1. We quickly pulled the plugs and they were worn out. Fresh set of plugs, and back and business. I made no changes to his tune from the night before and Alex did 600whp+
The second 600whp+ we had was running e85 and I tuned it 3 weeks prior. I was actually a little more concerned about that car, as the customer had driven in from Missiouri to pick up his car. Little did I know he'd end up winning the dyno contest.
The third car I spoke of was a stock block HR with GTM TT kit. It made 430whp (might be off by a few horses as I cant recall the exact number...390whp on our Dyno Dynamics about 6 months prior).
Z1 has brought their car to the Forged Dyno Day as well, and won....good friendly competition makes us all better. Good clean fun. We support many of their events such as ZNationals and send 300zx customers their way...so I consider them just as much partners and competitors.
At the end of the day the dyno is a tuning tool, and not a highly repeatable measuring device from session to session. I'll refrain from making anymore comments about our dyno numbers in comparison to other dynos.
