Definitely pulls harder. On the digital speedo it can skip as many as three or four numbers while accelerating. I think the most it skipped stock is two at a time.

Seriously? That is the worst measure of performance I have ever heard!

I have to admit, this makes no sense to me.

Just answering to the best of my ability. It will be two weeks before I can have any answers as to 0-60 or how fast it goes 1320 ft. I'm sure that is better than Saying nothing, maybe that's what you should have done instead of attacking me for trying to be helpful.
Cheers.

Sorry, sometimes what I say or think makes perfect sense to me, but comes out as gibberish. When you accelerate the digital speedometer, does it go in sequential order such as, 31 32 33 34, or does it skip numbers like this, 30 32 33 37? I hope that explains my point, like I said I can be hard to understand at times.

Really?? EZWood does not have any other performance measuring tools at hand right now... Is it that hard for both of you to understand that if the digital speedo is skipping more numbers than before it IS pulling harder? I'm sure both of you know the digital speedo reads the VSS a set amount of time, so... saying "in certaing gear where the speedo used to skip two numbers it is now skipping four" it means just that, given the same amount of time, it is skipping numbers faster A.K.A... it is accelerating faster.

It's not that I don't understand what he's saying. I'm saying it's about as accurate as a butt dyno. You might as well be counting how many unicorns go by from 0-60.

I can see why there aren't high expectations regarding manufacturers' dyno testing methods.

Anytime Opposed.
Mods, I apologize for the way I react to some of the replays to my posts. I understand that peaCe cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding, but these guys are allowing their education interfere with their learning. Those are quotes from Albert Einstein, I don't want to claim anything that is not mine.

Here we go with the unicorn talk again, what you are effectively saying here is that you are not happy with the Dyno results, you are not happy with my way of comparing acceleration, and you probably won't accept my quarter mile times when I go down to the drag strip. I hope that you don't hold back your progress in everything you do the way you dismiss everything that has been shared in this thread.

I guess you did not read my post before replying.. First Sentence: "EZWood does not have any other performance measuring tools at hand right now"... so whatever else he answered would not have met your expectations, so why not wait for tested results to come up? You are starting to sound like Angry Smurf
