Good stuff here gentlemen.
I'm going to leave a comment right here:
When viewing dyno graphs, notice the room temp and condition...then notice actual weather in that town that day. Just watch some shops for their dyno charts. Some may have very controlled climate rooms for sure. Some may not...or some may have an awkward way of creating their own atmosphere.
This works for many shops...and many boards...many cars. Friend of mine and I caught it on mustang boards too. My post linked in one of those threads....track times. Give me that. Dynos are a tool. I could make my car pull a Hail Mary dyno pull for forum dick size bragging rights if I wanted...print it and prove it. Then the car would run the same thing it does right now. Note that is why I post a timeslip soon after my dyno postings. Learned that from a old friend of mine and Axis's passed on now. The BS stops when the lights drop at the track.
I honestly don't know what all shops tweak numbers for sales. Honestly. But I do know first hand that GPI does not. I have no factual clue about others. I have suspicions. Like I said...watch temps and real deal weather that day in that city. Google will show you how to go back in history and look. One dyno chart I in fact caught as false then verified by another shop tipped me off. Then the next chart posted by that shop was dead nuts on accurate. So maybe it was an honest error on correction factors. Totally possible.
And for the record...I'm referring to cams, blowers, headers for dang sure...whatever.
I'm 38 years old and know that I over study stuff way too much. Lol.
Couple of great easy to find examples...how about 50whp headers and certain cold air intake claims...-cough-&N-.

Yeah I was happy to stand there while they Dyno'd mine. His Dyno is in a separate shop with 2 huge bay doors and they were both up and had a fan blowing ambient air at the grille from outside.

The night fury cam is a solid cam with a nice usable cam card. I would not call it fluffy. A cam I would call fluffy would be a tsp vvt1...or maybe a GM LS hot cam.

Might be meeting up with some fellow camaro and vette guys this weekend that I have met around town for some friendly.............

And Nutro...no matter what the pecker measuring dyno queens say about your numbers...once he has retuned it, get you a time slip and you will know the power your car is making. I wouldn't sweat it if it made 520 or so at 10psi. Really.
Heck I went 9.29s in 1kft (10.9-11.00 1320' range) on 518 whp.

What 62nalide said about the NF i really don't consider it bashing as most of the times we see of it are generally in the 11.8-12.0 area. Granted it might be the driver but if that is all you see that is all you have to go by.

Sorry mike I missed that. I have nothing bad to say about lethal. I do like seeing people challenge dyno numbers though. Lethal can hold their own. They know what's up.

Oh I definitely want to see what she'll do at the track once I learn how to drive with boost haha. I haven't been to a track in like 15 years so I need to brush up on the procedures.

I had the same problem. I hadn't drag raced at a track since just after high school. When I finally got a chance to go back in November i had to teach myself all over again. Best I got with bolt ons only before my clutch started sticking to the floor was a 12.5 with a 2.02 60'. I was happy with that and know it only gets better from there!!

That's me too. Track times don't mean shit with me behind the wheel. Driver mod me if you wanna know what the car will do!

Well this year will be my first time drag racing with Drag Radials, so I will definitely need some seat time to figure things out. I'm just hoping not to break anything.

Yep and yep. I'm hoping the suspension stuff is sufficient to save the rear end. I'm gonna launch easy until I trust the car.
