My one good idea!

So keep in mind this is just for NW's

Can we start a thread for Evo's (with exact mod. list) who have been on Kito's Dyno? This is just so we can hopefully have a good archive to look at what can be accomplished with exact mod combinations. Maybe we all could learn something.

does not matter

I have no intention of how high or low the numbers are. I only want to see how different combinations of parts effect the torque and power curves. I really want see, for instance is, at what point it is worth the change to a 3" dp.

Is there another dyno that isn't a heart breaker?
Maybe we could setup another dyno day.

Numbers don't only depend on parts. They depend on the tune as well. You can have on 500 parts and get low numbers because of a poor tune, or have on 10 parts and get a good number because of a good tune. Then there is brand to think of as well. Brand x DP at 3" might honestly be better than Brand y DP at 3". There's also the car itself. Some cars are "freaky" by nature and will put down better numbers than another car with the same mods and tune.

I would be more interested in getting basic comparisons between the dynos around here. I.e if you put down x at Kito what does that mean approximately at Pina? FAME? etc.

Because at quite a few of the dynos around here, they either:

1) Don't allow you on unless they are tuning the car themselves (doesn't help self-tuners)
2) Don't allow you on unless you are being tuned by some pro-tuner they approve off (once again doesn't help the self tuners)
3) Are ridiculously expensive if you just want to go by yourself with your tune and get a good few pulls

So quite a few people wait around for a dyno day to check their updated parts/tunes, where these basic rules are relaxed (prices reduced to). Since these days aren't always at the same dyno, the numbers can be useless. Case in point, this summer the two main dyno outings most people went to were Pina in June and then Kito. But for example, what does 270 at Pina mean compared to 270 at Kito?

By getting a basic comparision of the difference in the dynos around the area you could then average out what the 270 @ Pina means @ Kito and vice-versa. Allowing you to move between dynos whenever its cost effective to do so, while still being able to roughly compare your numbers.
