Dyno's are fun, and sure seperate the "posers" from those who actually have power.
"Well I have 80hp injectors, a tuner, water meth, and a big exhaust, with the right decals, so I must have around 750hp!?!?!"
I did notice the "run" didn't seem to last long. We usually see them at full throttle for a few seconds, at least.

ya my first attempt on a dyno, plus with the wastegate issues i was scared to death of blowing the head off, first two runs barly got to 30 psi, then these two was hitting fifty but not spooling very fast, sooo... i was probably letting off way to early, but it works perfectly on the road also im only running stock head bolts, but i did pull them, clean, and put molly grease, then retorqued to 135 lbs.
