Default Won a dyno contest and 3rd place in exhaust contest!

Went to the Umass car show today. Good variety of cars turned up, not a huge quantity though.

They had a mobile dyno set up so I decided Id hop on. I had no idea it was a contest lol. I put down 352 hp / 365 tq and got 1st Place!

2nd place was a 05 GTO that put down 331, I think it was stock. I forgot what 3rd was. Nothing spectacular, considering I won lol.

For the record there were plenty of cars that had more power than me, they just didn't dyno. ie. magnacharged z06, clean car, claims 520 rwhp.

I also got 3rd place in the exhaust sound off. I got beat by a Harley, go figure, and a WRX that was firing off his anti-lag. So I feel ripped off. Harley should have been in a bike category and the WRX was just exploding gas in his exhaust pipes, not really the sound of the engine. oh well

Atleast I got a trophy and a bucket full of Mothers cleaning supplies

Anybody go today?

I have one at work. If your car at least drives Autozone will check the codes for free.

What exactly happened?
