Don't worry about dyno numbers man. See if you can find track times (E.T. and MPH).

Not trying to pick on you RoDan, just making a point.
Track times are not so much indicative of power by itself. It has to do with track prep, weight, gearing, driving, power, etc. Dyno's are very useful in telling how much power you are making, now does that tell the whole story on how fast your car is? No.

Does it make your car fast? Nope
Will it tell you how much power your making? Sure enough, and usually they hurt your feelings. That's where you get the don't worry about dyno #'s thing.
