and im not talking power to the wheels im talking power to the fly wheel same with josies car when i stated the stock hp and tq those numbers are always flywheel rated when ppl talk about a stock baseline you loose about 10-15percent of power through weaknesses in tranny and rotating mass and drag on the engine even the oil in the oil pan puts drag on the engine because the crankshaft is having to sludge through it you ever heard of a dry sump oil setup where somehow they get it to where the oil is not actually sitting at the bottom of the engine it is circulated through something else then back to the engine to prevent it in racing cars anyway and on a dyno the temp drop outside the car wont be as great even with the fans so you wont see as much gains from the intake on a dyno as for the exhuast the reason the exhuast i have gives a pretty good gain is 1 its an apexi n1 catback 2.5" exhuast no silencer 2 the beat out cat allows the exhaust to reach more of its potential because a standard cat is a huge flow resistor think of my cat like a test pipe and 3 the cam is push more exhuast through it than it would with a stock cam increasing the gain from the exhaust by about 35 percent given the above 3 factors

that fight nights thing sounds sweet but we dont exactly have race bred cars at the moment so it might look kinda boring on the track lol

redline is gettin one set up if we could get a decent amount of ppl to commit to having a dyno day maybe work with redline as kinda a launch of the dyno maybe we could get it at a discount say .. 25 for three runs im sure i could ask them about it when i see 'em today
