Default 36whp diff, for a percent diff of 10%? That's not THAT similar, what am

I missing?

Default Aw->duh, I see now. Looks pretty damned close then. Seems like we've seen

such similarity b/w Shiv's dyno(when his fans are actually working...) and Garrett's as well.

Default I have heard other bitching about how the KTR dyno reads low. It seems it reads just as low as

GIAC.

Some people need a wambulance.

People will b!tch about anything, especially when their cars don't perform well.

More interesting is the shape of the stock curves. They both ramp, flatten, then ramp, taper off.

Default Exactly. I think most people now just make up #s in their heads though, so it should

solve the problem of dyno testing altogether.
