Dyno's Really?

Fire

Thanks Dream, I've followed alot of the forced induction posts and they seem to be hung up on dyno figures and which dyno is most accurate. I hope all the bugs get worked out cause tuner nubees like me need something that doesn't have to be driven with a passanger with the laptop connected just cause the weather changed.

Well this is going to come out wrong but we can deal with that accordingly. What are you looking for seriously? I wouldn't say people are hung up on the dyno, but that is the safest way to figure out what your car is doing. A dyno is a wonderful tool that should be utilized. Gives a relation of what your HP is and TQ and also gives you your AFR through out the power band. It also can show you compressor surges, or any boost leaks as the system builds it up. It can do all this with assuring you that your not going to get locked up for driving like a idiot on the street. This is why alot of people turn to see what it is doing on the dyno. If you read my thread I cover the driveability of the car but I am not going to ramp down the street in a careless manner, not worth the trouble here in Virginia. As i read your first post I feel that all these questions were answered by me alone. I also know in stormcrows thread he covers driveability on the street. RCZ stated in the stillen thread how his car is doing with the SC kit. Shumby stated in the gtm supercharger in house thread how his car felt and he drove it 2000 miles back to Canada. So I leave with the same question that i came in with. What are you looking for as far as info wise so maybe then I can help you. I just felt like you kind of attacked some people including me a little because of the dyno thingy. Sorry if I am coming off like a *** hole but i have put alot of time into my thread to try and give everyone a good understanding on how my car is perfroming so they can know what to expect.

My comment on the dyno is kind of what I found when I followed the threads. People seem to be either disapointed in thier numbers or putting down the companies because they cannot make the same power. I personnaly do not live within an hour of a dyno. So if I buy a kit I hope that I don't have to use a dyno to tune my car. I want to know if people feel they got thier moneys worth with whatever kit they used, where able to install the kit with minimal trouble, if they had to spend hours to get thier car in tune, and if they like the power they get when the step on the gas pedal. I agree we don't want people being idiots on the street. I do live within 90 minutes of Watkins Glen so I can get some track time. I don't aim to offend Frank and if you feel offended I apologize. Thanks for your time.
