I'm not saying it's not legit, I'm just saying it's shocking. people were surprised with my car at 233hp...this is almost 10% higher. I'd love to hear what else was on the car over what I have so I can add it to my plans

I know Eric is going to post more about this as I have to head to NY today and will be back to tune in the morning. Its been some very long nights again and I first off want to thank everyone for having the patience as we have had a very tough time with the dyno.

I think the average quitting time has been 11:30pm!!!!

The reason we are seeing wide variances as we tried to calibrate the dyno more to what you see on a dynapack. We ended up going back to the older calibrations (hence why most of the latest dyno's are much lower) to try and ease some of the dyno issues. Eric was nice enough to drop the money to get parts here overnight to save the day. I have had a great time meeting all of you and looking forward to meeting the rest of you next week.

Late into the night last night we finally got the dyno running much more consistent and we hope to get the cars out much much faster. Again, please accept my apology for having to wait all day to get your tune done.

I will try and get back to people as fast as I can, I know my pm box is almost full and have over 200 emails to get back to. Thanks for being patient and understanding

I think that Jan's candid statement says it all so once more only the delta matters

I made 195whp and 184tq last night on "The Heartbreaker". I was last on the dyno too. Helix and Jan are fantastic. I was at fthe shop for about 13 hours yesterday and it was quite the rollercoaster seeing as my oil timing chain tensioner decided to sieze right before my run haha. Eric is the man though. RMW and helix are both highly recommended.
