I know you don't agree with this philosophy, but I'm just trying to help out the average guy who's not as technically inclined as some others on the board.
Hey bolsen,

Educate the weak-minded, b/c I have no idea what the difference is. If you feel the need jsut PM me.

Notice how my prompting motivated you to stop lagging around and get something done.
Everyone else was saying that they can't wait for numbers.....and you were the one that said that testing this cam should be more important than customer cars and you were implying that maybe we tested it and the results were bad and that is why we had not posted results. That is the reason why I focused on your post. Ofcourse, you call it exaggerating.... I call it sarcasm... I hope you picked up on it...I was laying it on pretty thick.

But fear not Warrtalon, we have ordered a new tach lead and will run another test on my car and post up the torque numbers for you to see/compare/analyze/make a spread sheet.

lol

btw - nice numbers for a simple intake cam for the 9

I might be wrong, but from my understanding, Corrected # are calculated with factors like weather, humidity and temp...but uncorrected # are result without any corrections from temp and humidity and such. Which have nothing to do with drivetrain loss.

Please educate me on how the uncorrected numbers give you crank horsepower.

All dyno's calculate power based on rollers and mathmatical formulas pertaining to the rollers, load of, and speed etc... Corrected is based on air temp, humidity, elevation. Crank hp is measured normally on a engine dyno. You can however calculate drivetrain loss and factor it in to the run, which will show a even higher # but since roller dynos measure at the wheels, drivetrain loss has already occured

Thats exactly what I said lol. And if you calculate the drivetrain loss as a factor then it will be Crank "Engine" hp which I never seen TT or any tuner here use as a measurement.
