... So wait, now I'm really thinking about this and the gears in my head are starting to grind. You took a car and changed two things on it (E85 tune and your header), and then attributed all of the gains to your header? At best that's unscientific, at worst it's just plain disingenuous. I am supposed to believe you developed this header without using a dynometer to measure your progress? But now you hem and haw about how you don't really need to come up with a more controlled before-and-after comparison because someone else posted it somewhere. Except you don't advertise with those third party numbers: "EL HEADER $850 DYNO PROVEN +29HP +35TQ" Visconti gets a 20hp peak gain over his "stage 1" tune, which is a remarkably similar base number as your customer's tune: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21190 So that's what the E85 can do by itself. So maybe it would be more realistic to change the advertisement in your signature to say "EL Header $850 dyno extrapolated 9hp" |

Are you talking about this? First of all, there's no baseline there. Secondly, it's a car with both a tune and the header. We don't know how good that tune was, but you simply cannot attribute all of the gain from the tune to the header (unless you also sell the tune with the header and call it a package gain). None of these graphs actually tells us anything about what the header does to the car, and therefore there is zero evidence for their advertised claim. The fact that FA20Club is unwilling or unable to put a controlled comparison is truly damning. |

Holy excuses and blame-shifting, Batman. You're selling a product, and you're making a very bold claim about that that product gets you. You switched a car from 93 octane to E85 and attributed all of those gains entirely to that header. Did you not develop this header on a real car? Where are the dyno runs from that work? You claimed that it takes you "15 minutes" to install the header because "you are ninjas." I'm sure you can squeeze out an hour and a half (including cool down and ninja swap between runs) to compare a stock header to this header and give us a real before and after. SAE J1349 JUN90 defines the correction factor for you shitty Florida weather. |

Okay, so let's just right down to brass tacks.
Is this advertisement is the truth? EL HEADER $850 DYNO PROVEN +29HP +35TQ We are having some kick-ass weather up here in Seattle. Can I go to a dyno, get a baseline for my stock car, put your header on there, dyno it again, and expect to see an extra 35 foot-pounds of torque somewhere on the graph? |

If there's proof then why isn't it posted here? He knows he can edit that first post and supplement it with this elusive proof you guys keep talking about. |

There is dyno sheets all over this thread? What is it your looking for exactly. I mean these thread is headers dyno tested with the sheets posted also tells you that it works with his turbo kit ( which I currently own ) so I'm not just a random post I have 90 percent of his products on my car and works well and has the highest numbers so far I believe just saying... (PROVEN) lol
