Thats a good question.
Personally i care about how the car goes not numbers.
The tune will be done here in israel and dynod here as well and in order to avoid such questions i am going to invite giac and revo dealers to the final dyno.
Again i couldn't care less if it makes 450 or 500 hp but as long as it drives the way i want it to , but numbers do play a role in fdrums and i plan on keeping tthr objective

thats actually a very good idea. better to have someone be overstrict with a dyno then someone be very lenient to massage figures

Good. It's all about you being happy with what you've got for your money. A few benchmark cars from others to measure against will shut a fair few people up I'd imagine too.
poko:
banchmark cars are going to be tuff, what am i going to banchmark against ?
btw : i have done stock and stage 1 pulls on this same dyno , so i have reference as for my own car.
but again , when i started tuning i also mainly cared about numbers, but now i really don't care about dyno numbers.
i have driven cars that did amazing dyno pulls but were horrible in half throttle and daily driving.
making a dyno queen is not my goal.
when APR team will fly over to tune the car , i will rather loose 20-30hp and get better overall driving experience.
dynos show how the car behave at WOT , however on the road or course that's not how you drive them.

liking it mate my next mods are a stonger bottom end :)
tony_danza:
Ah, I didn't quite mean benchmark as in big power cars - just something that is a fixed power that makes that same power on the dyno you use on the day.
Given there's going to be people there to verify, it simply means you avoid the accusations of falsifying figures that inevitably comes with dyno days. Forums are full of fickle people who never believe anything no matter how much proof, but then there's equal amounts of bull to give people reason to be wary.... APR have been very guilty of this in the past I'm sad to say.
I agree though, figures are crap and pointless with the exception of seeing if you've got what you'e paid for.
