I have too much faith in the accuracy of trap speeds to believe otherwise, so I'll have to agree to disagree with you guys on this one. All due respect.

But on that particular day, in those perfect conditions, at 1.1 BAR and on 100 octane fuel...those little K16's of mine were making some serious power:

That trapspeed doesn't lie!

Had I been power-shifting..you'd have seen 127-128 mph at Stage 2, and 138-139 at my current level. Those were the MPH differences (+2 to 3) I've seen in some of my previous cars when I power vs lift shifted.

1.1 bar, max.

you should go. With numbers like that and ~ 165 TQ gain @ 4800 rpm and ~150 HP gain at 4800 rpm the car should trap pretty good. What happened to the baseline dyno run? That is a very lame baseline as it looks like there is a boost leak or something.

I will probably go down to the drags to hang out. I am not much of a drag racer to be honest. I prefer turns . As far as the baseline, it is pretty accurate, the car did leak boost from the valves that were on it.
