For all you guys waiting on my Dyno results... This probably doesn't really belong in this Forum, but a bunch of people read my initial cam install thread here and have been following it to see what Dyno numbers my car put down....so that's why I am putting it here.
I called them this morning an hour before my appointment...and I couldn't believe it when the lady said that they are having computer problems and that I might have to reschedule again. So I said.....wait a sec, I fix these things for a living, what's wrong with it? She said the computer turned on but nothing showed on the monitor. I told her to yank the memory out and put it back in and that that might fix it, but she had already brought the computer to a repair shop. So I told her that I have an extra computer here and that I could bring it down.....so that's what I did! We loaded the dyno software on my computer and hooked the dyno up and we were in business!
My first runs were miserable looking...only a gain of 4 hp and a loss of 12 tq, but it turned out that we had the wrong correction factor selected. After some tuning, the best the car would do was 374 hp and 365 rwtq, but this was in 100 degree heat with mucho humidity.
These numbers are STD, not SAE, I think....which ones do most people go by?
I don't have the dyno graph scanned, but...I have the Dyno Software on my computer now, so I can get the graphs here later on tonight.

Or does STD mean uncorrected, I am slightly confused, I usually just go with the numbers the dyno place gives me.

Well, here's the graph
I am not really happy though. It surges at idle when it is warmed up fully (won't do it when cold) and the SES light came on.
