odd looking graph...questions first off I know the numbers are uncorrected these are the "real" numbers SAE numbers show 500+ which is definitely wrong.
my question is right around 4750rpm you can see the graph get very bumpy any idea why?

Those numbers are only "real" for that weather and elevation. Corrected numbers would be more useful but it sounds like there's something wrong with the dyno correction software or weather station.

My guess would be it has something to do with the valves, maybe springs. What does your head/cam combo consist of including valves? How old are the components?

does the car tend to stumble when you drive it? I would wait to see what else is brought up as I am no expert but it would almost appear that the valves are floating. What are the specs on your cam?

Well if it isn't noticeable, maybe it is just somthing acting up with the dyno that day. It would hurt to check out the springs and make sure they have been set right just for insurance. Whose dyno was this and who did the tuning? I am not really sure where Cooper City...

Yeah it would be best to ask him as he knows that dyno and has seen about a million graphs and I am sure he has come across this before. He is usually pretty good at figuring out the issues, he was able to tell me that there was a oil consumption issue through my intake after just throwin my car on the dyno for fun and logging it a few years back. Also, maybe try out a different dyno if it is convienent for you, Ford Speed has a dyno not to far away.
