Exactly what I did. Results:

Told the Cam guy, I dont care about horsepower. I want a cam that makes a fat torque curve and drives like stock. 222\228 113+4. Ramp rate = 272 @ seat to 222 at .050. So about 50 in perspective. Paired with 799 heads cleaned resurfaced with a valve job. That cam. Used ls6 intake, 3200 converter and LTs. I was in it less than 4 grand in total. Including tune.

95 degrees, 28.50HG and their sheet says SAE correction factor is 1.06. I verified that my graph was based on current conditions. When "Standardized" 77 deg, it comes out to roughly 410hp and 393 Tq. I dont think that matters though.

Honestly id rather see gains. They are more comparable. Dynos read quite a bit diff even within the same company. Consistency is key. That's why the strip is both good and bad for showing results as well. Being consistent is key. The dyno is best for that as a single session will give you repeatable results and going back to the same one allows for showing true progress, plus its safer, esp tuning wide open. Eddy currents may hurt egos but are best for all that.

I see what your saying. I think it would still be fair to say, dont pay too much attention to the number you produce as much as the gains you made. I don't know what my car made before I modified it but if it made 285ish to the tire through an auto in 95 degree weather, and I do HCI exhaust and a tune and it only makes 387, thats a 100rwhp gain, thats excellent! Especially for 4 grand. Maybe you could take a bone stock 4th gen and dyno 305 and it makes 420 after mods, did it really make more power? Well that depends on the setup but if all those things are equal it may just be the dyno and the environment it was tested in. I think ill ask them next time I talk to them about what these cars dyno bone atock a4 at their dyno.
