Talking Power wire , dyno?

Anybody ever dyno/data log the power wire off/on? I am going back to the track this weekend and am going to try it. One run off next run on. Gonna use the DashDyno SPD I bought. I wish I could afford to compare it to a real dyno, but I guess I just wanna know if the little things, (power wire, CAI, plugs etc.) actually help, and by about how much. (I can feel a diff. but wanna see the data)

This should be interesting. I can say I noticed a nice difference under heavy throttle, but Im not sure how much. I put in new spark plugs and my cold air bumper scoop in around the same time.

Took power wire off and truck seems like a dog! Its one of those mods you dont really notice until you dont have it anymore.
199.9hp going to ground. (if my axle ratio is right, tag and sticker gone?)
I think with everything ive done I had 211hp going to ground,with wire, but I am going to do a "controlled" test again tomorrow (with wire). Same stretch of road.

It only works from 40 degrees ambient temp and up, once the temp drops below 40 degrees the power wire has no effect. The warmer the ambient temp the better use to it becomes. I will say you doe use about a gal per mile more with the power wire.
