Hey, guys. This "feel" power concept could stand some improvement. I know when we drive our cars we can tell when something "ain't right" so to speak. But the butt dyno can be very deceptive. For instance, smooth delivery of more power can seem less dramatic that a sudden burst of power at higher rpm. But it is that sustained power that typically produces quicker lap times or better quarter mile results than a peaky power delivery.
Modest suggestion: get an inexpensive stopwatch and get used to using it to measure different WOT pulls in third and fourth gear through certain speeds, like 40-80 or 60-100 mph. You'd be surprised to find out just how inaccurate the butt dyno is and how valuable that little cheap stopwatch can become. When you see an increase in timed intervals from what you know from past experience to expect, then it's time to start looking for the cause. Just a thought . . .
do you really need the one step colder plugs? is it the hypertech tune or the turbo back?
