Default Where have all the dyno numbers gone?

Im just wondering where all the really good private (Non Shop Built and Promoted Cars) have gone. IT seemed like last year there were lots of very impressive numbers around. Do you think everyone has gone to crazy with the sizes of there cams and head ports or something. Is it that alot of people are trying to tune there own cars these days or what? Numbers just seem to be on a decline. I just figured I would toss this out there and see what other people think.

i think it has alot to do with the fact people are dissapointed when there setup doesnt put out the "dyno" numbers they thought they would get and then dont post it thinking theyll get laughed at or something. which here definetly isnt the case 99% of the time we all try to help each other . just wait till fall and cooler weather then see some good track times again

everything seems normal to me?

Maybe people are finally starting to realize dyno numbers arent all they are cracked up to be? (Aside from being a tuning tool/comparision for the same car?)
