I don't believe in dynos numbers, as they are for tuneing use only. It was cool to watch how they do the tuneing on the dyno, just like driveing on the street, like I said I just needed a quick fix for my mind to be rest asurred about my tuneing capabilities.

It's true the dyno is only a tool. Sure it's nice to brag about big numbers but it's the race that determines the winner.

btw, what's with the tornado?

good luck with MTI tuning, they suck at truck tuning, and those numbers are way low cause i dyno'd the other day through a locked converter and made almost 300hp and 315lb/ft
