Everything else you're saying does make sense, and I agree that we don't have tons of perfect before/after comparisons for perfect numeric comparison. But we can always look at line shape, and I'm pretty damn happy with it.
I'd love to do an area under the curve analysis when I have time, but it should be pretty apparent just by looking at charts. We make significant power over stock and even over other boost applications down low, and that's a ton of fun. It just feels like you put a nice strong on-demand V6 into the car without the extra weight.
You don't get the full picture from max power numbers...

I shouldn't even be in this thread at all but I like to stop in every now and then to see if the first ESC car-b-q has happened yet. When I saw VR46's dyno with auto trans, Borla UEL, HFC FP and missing baseline I thought "hey, I have a dyno for my AT with the same exact exhaust setup" and submitted my dyno sheet as a baseline for him. It wasn't until days later that I realized his dyno was probably in Dyno Dynamics (DD) mode and not corrected to Dynojet (DJ) #s. Along the way I also realized that many of the DD sheets posted in this thread as well as the entire forum are in comparison (DJ) mode and I tried to point it out for the benefit of the forum. No hidden agenda.
Anyway, I agree with much of what you've said and honestly wasn't trying to argue anything about peak dyno numbers other than what correction factors are necessary when attempting to compare different dynos. I am now quite frustrated and bored with the exercise and would very much like to exit this thread so that the ESC devotees can get back to topics more relevant to their own needs and wants.
BTW, thanks for being so surprisingly civil. I am not at all accustomed to it in this thread.
