Trying to figure out if this was directed at me or not.

Hector, I only brought myself into this to show Kremit that better dyno runs don't necessarily mean faster 1/4 times. I'm sure there are others here that just lurk and laugh at us because they're running better times/more power but haven't publicized their info. I think that your times - especially considering ATX - are commendable!

Regarding the tach being off: in the DynoJet program there is a multiplier they have to set correctly to get the proper RPM readings. Without proper readings, your numbers would be skewed in any number of ways. If everything isn't set right, you'll get incorrect readings.

And I also have the same take as HisSVT on this. That is the sloppiest dyno I've ever seen in my life (and I've witnessed over 600 runs in the past year). I've never seen the DynoJet program throw those straight lines off to the side like that - an indication something wasn't right.

SAE correction: This is usually a default. But if they're correcting a bad reading, it really doesn't matter.

Joe: Get the files from that place. I can plug them into the reader I have on my PC and see if we can figure out if it's all kosher or not.
I was stating this in general. Us ATX owners get a lot of crap.

On the topic, I just posted that the head gasket leak could have caused a problem. It was just an idea, and I'm sure it could have something to do with the numbers, IF THEY ARE TRUE.
