[QUOTE=Spartarus;2801937]That dyno would make a lot more sense if you could see the torque curve, or do the regression so you don't have to.
It's a simple trick, and I already explained it in another thread.
Once you see the torque curve, you realize it's not trickery, it's perfectly legitimate. Use that engineering degree.

My posts, both before and after the dyno, and the thread they're from. There's your simple explanation. It's not magic, they just shortened the intake runners.
Look at
where the power peaks on the low and high lines.
Peak torque is exactly the same. Peak power increased in direct proportion to rpm for peak torque. This trick works on any engine.
Why didn't the build an engine with world-class HP? They have regulatory requirements beyond power output. I hate to throw the emissions excuse about it, but here's an example... You can hit nearly 200 WHP with an ACE header, but that necessitates the removal of one of the primary emissions controls.
Why did they have the balls to call this engine "high revving" When it's done at 7400? Why didn't they tune it for 8 or 9? Why did they add the weight and complexity of direct injection and VCT when neither of those improve peak power output, and don't do much of anything for an NA power curve?? Why 0w-20 pisswater oil?
Those questions are rhetorical.
There are simple answers to all of those questions.[/QUOT
I've always said the same thing I just don't know why the won't release the "magic formula". What are they hiding from us that will make this engine a superstar? I beleive this intake manifold is a step in the right direction. And maybe the higher compression pistons. Seems on a lot of cars they only add a few horsepower. Maybe so but a few is a little more then we got now. I think it will allow it to carry higher into the Rpms and pay off more then we could imagine maybe like 10 or 20. And why the f*** haven't we seen any dynos of the cars that have been fitted with itbs?? By the way I think your dyno is real people are always so negative. 130 base on 12volts car not so sure about that! I think 130 dyno might have been on a stock auto car. This would drop hp down to roughy the 130-140 range. After reading I think he stated, that he never had a base dyno? I could be wrong though. And I notice he said pump gas. If he has got that kind of money. Tune that bitch on e85 and post it I'd love to see what it could do
