real world testing includes ram air you won't get at the dyno, which will improve HP as you go faster, providing you have an aftermarket intake.
Don't forget about the thrill of the real experience.

All dynos are calibrated a bit differently and dyno operators have quite a bit of controll on the output depending on how well they know their epuipment. I have seen up to 30RWHP differences on the same car with no changes. Actual timed 1320 are the only numbers that count. Mid 14's in a family truckster is haulin'azz.

Just becuase you guys don't know how it works doesn't mean it doesn't.
I not only know how it works, I know how to work it! How much h.p. would you like on your printout??

All I'm saying is a dyno can't duplicate a track run, you might get lucky and be close. The only way to know is to run it.

Went racing yesterday... Fastest run was 14.60 at 97 mph... 1/2 tank of gas, around 85-90 degrees, with a stiff head wind, elevation of almost 1900. I have 2300 miles on the odometer, so when the engine finally loosens up.......
I was able to go to the semi-finals, only to break-out. Sweet way to break in the Hemi!
Was with my old Impala SS club, and everyone was impressed with the bone stock times...
NOW its time for some mods!!!
I anticipate high 13's with minor modding!

I would love to race my RT against the members in my old Impala SS club, but they are back in the Chicago area and I am now in Florida.

Riding out the storm - Frances go away!
