Good points Sasha! The graph I uploaded came out of loading my own data (we took away on floppies) into DynoJet Viewer (free download from their site).

You're right, the scale looks hosed... let me play with it some more.

Of course posting charts is not a good idea anyway, I could use a paint program and claim I got 900lb/ft

Seems that with the cheesy software when I load in multiple runs it messes up the TORQUE scale. Here's the graph with just my best run:

(Note that I'm going nearly 100mph on the dyno :eek: it's a bit scary)

I've been to 3 different shops with dynos and this was the first one I have ever seen them let the owner drive it on the dyno.

As I think I said before, I think 'technique' (or just dumb luck) are part of the equation too. I've seen several GS400 dynos showing about 225-230RWHP and around 230 torque so that was what I expected. I've always felt even my drop in K&N filter added a bit to my output and that my exhaust added a bit also. Maybe that's what did it.

But you didn't see all the results we got from the 4 GS400s, because basically, they were, er, not consistent (hint, I did better than I probably should have relative to the others which all had intake or other mods I don't have!).
