I drove it today and it is fast as ****! The power is really even and not laggy at all. DD keept on telling me to slow down though.

No you are correct. I think their regular retail was $1300 or $1400. They had them on a deep sale right around Christmas. If I'm not mistaken, $1200 is a still sale price. That price drop was what got me intially interested.

I'll hold off for now I was fishing for a group buy price, I'm still looking for my roller for my engine but am curious if you noticed a SC pressue drop since you've installed the headers?

so screw the dyno. do timed runs, really long timed runs and at high speed. makes sense, but wait, how do you account for different atmospheric conditions on the street and do this safely on the street?
i hear what you are saying, 20HP on the dyno may not account to much on the street and 20 HP is just a "bling" figure but a few tenths on the track DO MATTER and if you are looking for bleeding edge performance gains the dyno will pick up these changes.
the dyno allows for a higher degree of sensitivity in testing. with dynapac and mustang dynos one can to timed runs, up to 45 seconds. it becomes more practical and repeatable and at the very least you have erased the effects of wind that can totally screw up a timed run.
hmm... really... you don't think race tuners dyno then test on the track? sure...

Thank you for confirming that dyno power does not necessarily translate into power on the street. And you are right that serious racers, be it track or drag racing, tune their cars by driving them and not by testing them in an artificial enviroinment. Many of these dyno chart racers soon find out that their movement of the engne power to the upper range (in an attempt to get some high braggng numbers) actually decreases the car's performance and that is why you seldom see them posting performance numbers. There is so much more to putting down power to the pavement than simply a dyno chart.
