Uncorrected are always inflatted ego dynos.

Just for comparing purposes, my uncorrected dyno numbers was 151.35 and my corrected number was 122.85

is 152 for the FED. Someone with a stock FED should get a dyno to compare numbers, then we'll know for sure exactly what the power increase was, if any

A dyno pull is done in one gear and one gear only, typically 3rd or 4th.

It depends on the dyno, in some cases the numbers actually go up when the correction factors are applied.

You're right. It was actually in 4th gear. I called them up and asked them, and they said they did it in 4th gear.

I didn't realize so many things had to go into account to just figure out some accurate numbers but it would be nice to see a stock lancer on that same dyno to compare.

Your car is Canadian! Crazy! (3 is Canada-spec, which is the same setup as the US-spec 2)

A stock run on that dyno would help, but not answer everything (see below).

Unfortunately, it still wouldn't be perfect. You and I could both take our cars, bone stock, straight from the dealership to the dyno and get slightly different results. While

rates the motor at 152, every motor is different, every car is different, every dyno is different. Dyno numbers are nice to look at, but they're really meaningless.

The ONLY good thing you can do with dyno results is this:
1. Take your car to the dyno, get a number.
2. Modify the car, take it to that same dyno (hopefully on a day with the same weather and temp.), and run it again.
3. Compare the numbers.

Comparing different cars or different dynos is a major waste of time. It's like if you and I take different IQ tests and then compare our scores...
