My road to 500 rwhp (hopefully)
Sorry but I don't know how. I was emailed a pdf file. Anyone tell me how I can save the pdf file as a jpg or something?

also would be great if you can post the peak numbers as well.

Trust me, I've thought long and hard about going 24/18s... maybe I'm just not built for speed?
I get nervous going over 90mph so 60-130 times would be more like 60-90 for me

are these for a fully stock car with just an exhaust? It looks good to me.

That dyno sheet is a stock car with exhaust and intake RWD though
John, I believe seal grey matte had a custom tune. Also, do you know what dyno was used at that time?
Ben,
Thanks bro. I will prob drop by tomorrow to bug Steve

Edwin,
Those spikes are a result of either the wastegate opening and closing as boost limit is reached or a diverter valve failing. As your car reaches peak boost on the dyno, the wastegate will start to open to vent off excess exhaust gas to limit boost, it the wastegate is getting weak then it will "waffle" instead of being steady. Similarly, if the diverter valve is going bad the it will also vent off boost pressure already in the intake unevenly and at random times causing power "surges". Generally the graphs are not that wavy. If you were keeping the stock valves and wastegates I would say we need to check them but as they are being changed anyway we will look at the dyno graphs after the upgrade and determine if any other issues need to be looked at. Sometimes it is necessary to install an aftermarket boost controller as they can perform more accurately in some cases.
Hopefully this helps

Here's hoping when we replace the DV or WG, the graph will be more linear. Thanks to Tony @ EPL for contacting me also about his concerns about the spikes. I'm sure everything will be figured/worked out

Yes, I had a custom tune. Dyno was a mustang. My baseline dyno came in around 330 or so awhp.
