yay or nay
?

it's just a number really. every dyno is different.

Yeap, every dyno is different for some reason.

90.5kW is pretty good i guess. Is your car stock as a rock?
100kW is what most stock Preludes get.

whats it got done to it ? intake ? exhaust, headers?

Then you're pretty much saying dynos are useless because everytime u use a different one u can't compare it to your previous dyno? They only differ slightly with their calculations.



10kw difference from normal is definitely showing up on my bony butt dyno. Car is stock except for engine conversion to blown h22 and an aftermarket lip which +5kw.

That's exactly right. Dyno comparisons are only good if you're on the same dyno on the same day. Sure Dyno Dynamics crap on about their "Shootout mode" which says you can get within 1kW of your figure on any SM dyno, but I'm yet to see proof of that.

You've done well if a blown H22 makes less power than a stock one. Or is it blown up as in buggered?

Dyno's are just a tuning tool, nothing more.

Ive seen discrepencies of up to 20kw between states, all using Shootout6 software on DD dyno's, on my XR6T.

Air quality, the location of the dyno, whether the air temp compensator was used, etc etc can all alter power readings signifigantly.

You should stick to using the one dyno when modifying your car, so it shows up any gains or losses when you travel down the oh so expensive car modifying path.

i went for a 3 runs
97 manual
has..
pod filter + ground kit (for future sound system)
it pulled 100.1kw @ fronts
not too sure if it mattered, but it was done on a real hot day..
100 is standard un-tuned as far as i know anyway
