yes...but that is corrected rear wheel power. dont ask me what that means...lol

the guy that does my dyno pulls said that the numbers may seem low but they were as accurate as possible for what was actually getting to the pavement.

I found your second group of runs, plugged in some figures and came up with 265 hp. Although your 14.1 is impressive, somehow you got a .09 reaction, which leads me to believe you staged differently. I'm impressed you didn't red light, and whatever you did in that run, you need to learn to do consistently.
Somehow I think it was a fluke, because I've seen these types of runs before. Only by making about a half dozen or so more passes as close together as possible will you get accurate info.

Again, whatever you did to get that .09 reaction time, you must learn to do over and over. Many pros aren't that good!

My guess, is that you're inconsistently staging (shallow or deep) or need more experience catching the light You may have inconsistent traction.

i didnt use a heat gun, but would be better if you did, just grab and pry it and peel it off, then use one of these, it goes on a drill and makes lightwork of the remaining adhesive
