Mellon Flash 21psi 93 octane

I did 289hp and 268ft/lbs on Chad's dyno, not overly impressive.
That's not bad on that dyno. I made like 20 hp less than you did with Chad's tune. I wasn't happy so I bought more parts, installed them, and drove to turbotrix. Like everyone was saying though, a dyno number is just a number. My car felt sluggish when the numbers were bad at CBRD's dyno. And my car feels strong now with the TT tune regardless of what the numbers may have said on that dyno. I'd still be satisfied if the numbers read 50 hp lower than the actual, as long as the car felt fast.

Like Dan said, the best way I guess is to hit the strip and see where your trap speed is at.

One thing I forgot to add... Peak horsepower numbers don't really mean a whole lot. It's all about the area under the curve. I've seen dyno sheets with decent numbers, but not a whole lot of area. And I've also seen the exact opposite.

Hey Dan, I have no idea if this is a good deal or whatever, but though you might want to check it out.

This was brought up a few weeks back - Who on here has a SS clutch line? I was probably going to get one, but wanted to hear if it's worth it before I do.

I see now that in addition to an upper SS line, AMS has a lower SS line. Hmm.
