Default Why don't People post graphs more?

Just my two cents here, but why is it in this section less than half the people post their graphs. I'm not calling BS on anyone, but it seems many people make claims without charts. I like to see what someones torque curve looks like when they say is is as flat as a board, or at what RPM the peaks occured. I like to see, and make my own interpretations of the dyno results. I rememer when I was younger that quater mile times didn't mean nothing unless the guy had a slip to back it up. I would have thought in this day and age many if not most would have access to a digital camera or a scanner, or access to these to capture the graph and put it online.

I wonder how hard it would be to have a database of sorts that has a checklist for mods, a comments section, and an area to post slips and or graphs.

Anyone else think like this or an I just ate up.

I'm guilty of this. I need to load my dyno program and data onto my home computer and I'll post it up.

I simply do not have access to a scanner, but I agree with what you are saying. Some #s I just want to see for myself.

Hey Guys if you bring a floppy disk with you to the dyno shop they can save it to a BMP for you and then you can post it. Some shops dont know how to do this though, the last 1 I went to with my friend I did it for them. If that computer is hooked up to the net (rare) they could e-mail it to you also.
Other ways are to bring it to a kinkos or something and they will scan it for you but I dont know the cost.

I would have a hard time posting dyno #s without a graph... thats just me. I have a graph for every rwhp/mods change Ive done. Progression is nice to see on paper since many people wont believe it if you dont have proof. Hell some people still didnt believe one of my dyno sheets... 344/353rw stock with just a tune. Told me to get to the track and prove it.. so I went to the track with just tuning and did a 13.1@110mph 2.1 60' my 2nd time ever driving the car at the track.

*If anyone needs dyno graphs hosted let me know... email me Avengeance96es@aol.com. I have unlimited space.*

Here's another one....my peak run. Has some dips in it, though, due to knock.

Here is mine.



Just a little Chevy diesel power. Actual torque was 1,446.7 but I pegged the DJ plotting software at 1200.
