Hope the gauge purchase helped with that dyno, lol. Those seem a lil low but humidity=unhappy numbers.
 
I too, would expect better numbers, even on the Dyno Dynamics. My MS3 with ONLY the MS CAI pulled 239hp and 280lb/ft of torque on a Dyno Dynamics.(idhitit)
 
Thanks for post KP. I believe we'd all like a/f and whatever data was monitored beyond that. Was the intake temperature after IC measured. Just thinking not being front mount ic maybe shes a little warm. Still very cool post
 
crazy. its 60 degrees out right now, I just went outside. the car is unreal at the 'warmer' temperatures.

in a perfect world, all dyno's would work the same and be calibrated the same.
 
I was just concerned that with a top mount if you are not moving enough air through the intercooler. In this picture a front mount would get plenty of air with that fan. But wouldn't you want the fan forcing air in the " ram air " designed grille with hood closed. Sorry obviously I'm new to intercoolers.

yes, which is what the fan was doing.

i know the dyno dynamics are pretty conservative dynos, and it was humid(93%) and mildly warm which are all contributing factors.

i will, however, continue to use this dyno because it's where my baseline was done. it'd be silly to go to another shop and gain +- 60whp when i add a downpipe and cobble accessport.

edit:
i should note that after every run i felt the intercooler to make sure it wasn't heatsoaking. the intake side of the intercooler was significantly cooler than the turbo side.
