That is exactly what I am looking for! a fast DD. The only problem is the 11:1 compression. Here in Cali the highest octane I normally see is 92. Were you running race fuel or 100 octane with your setup? Is that really a good idea for a DD? I am fairly sure I have stock pistons of some sort in the motor currently.

Thank you very much! This is the kind of information i was looking for. I currently have a 2600 stall and was already looking at the Comp 268H! I also have been looking into 750 carbs. I am not really sure what kind of heads to get. The internet is so opionated I find all kinds of discussions on which are better. They however, talk actual dyno results. I may have to switch out my rear end. I already plan on the T5 swap ASAP.

I'm pretty sure its a suspension problem. The wheels and tires have been dynamically balanced using a Hunter machine. The reason I measured at full droop is to see if it could be a difference of shock/spring. Since it is same at full droop and when compressed I don't think it is the spring or shock.

Thanks. Today I welded some angle iron to my front diff mount as that seems to be the source of my clunking.

So I am wondering why my driverside rear is way lower than the passenger side. When on the ground (as you can see in the pics) there is like an inch and a half differene! With the car on jackstands at full droop it is the same way like an inch and a half different the passenger side hangs lower than the driverside. Also are the LCAs suppose to look different? At first, I thought maybe this was due to the lowering springs that the car came with. They are gray/silver (not sure of the brand) and I think stock type shocks. The strut tubes do not appear to have been cut. Is this normal for these cars or is something wrong here? The only reason this all came about is because when my car was on the dyno the other day the rear driverside wheel looked like it was wobbling pretty bad so i tried to see if I could find anything going on today. Any thoughts? Any help would be appreciated! Josh

Sorry for the confusion. I understand that all dynos produce different numbers (some higher, some lower) I really don't care about that at this point. The only reason I am thinking of dynoing elsewhere is simply because the shop that I just went to is 70miles from home. My old shop is like 10 minutes from my house and I will mostly likely et a price break since I use to work there! So If I get a baseline at the new place and continue to go there from now on.

They are Rota RBR's in Royal gold. They are 17x9.5 with -19 offset and some spacers.

I am purely interested in the differnt readings of the two brands of machines. I am looking for an actual increase in power. I would just rather use a machine local to me. I live in Sacramento,CA and the shop I went to was over 70 miles away. I totally get what you are saying.

Rustoleum HighGloss Black. It too was rolled on. I sanded a couple of spots before this pic was taken and it still needs to be buffed and polished.

my GF has a 2003 Acura CL Type S 6spd. I am very aware of the power! lol Its a 2003 and has 190k on the clock and still is a blast to drive!! I replaced the timming belt and water pump a while back and thats it! (other than several sets of tires) Still on the stock clutch even! (knock on wood) and she drives all over the San Francisco Bay. She commutes to Sacramneto regularly as well.

By checking it I should be at full 32 degrees at 3k rpm correct?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT LINK!! It was super informative!!! I am going to go back to my old shop here in town with the Dynojet and get a couple of baselines to see what the difference is. The only problem is that my old shop is now under new ownership and just because someone owns a dyno does not mean they know how to tune!!!!!! Trust me!!! My old boss acted like he knew what was up but sometimes I could tell he really didn't!! I guess I need to ask some oldschool hotrod guys here locally for good places that have a dyno and REALLY KNOW how to tune!!

I took some pictures of the dyno print out. (crappy cellphone) I really don't think it was running way rich or lean. (what the heck do I know, maybe you folks could shed some light on that) Timming was @ 12 degrees at idle without the advance (I'm guessing about 36 degress full advance.) I ran a 13.895 at 94 mph on 23" tires I weighed it at the local truck scale and was 2700lbs with me in the car (I am about 270lbs)
