[QUOTE="GodStang, post: 16630511, member: 11142"] You have to be careful what you believe on the internet. Many many shops make their money on boosting dyno numbers to get repeat customers (super easy to do). Bigger numbers means better tuners in most peoples eyes. Do these people have a piece of paper that says they make these numbers? Yes. Will they run the equal times as the cars with legitimate dynos? No. This is the main reason I do not post dyno numbers anymore as so many people unknowingly post bs numbers. Just to note one of the top 2.65 on E85 with a built engine, heads, cams, and E85 and 25psi made just a bit more than 750rwhp. To run equal times that the 2.8L and 2.9L runs at the track it had to spray nitrous. Unless they have dyno numbers from a completely different dyno to back them up or more importantly track times that show the huge discrepancy then the numbers are hard to believe. 15 years ago I had a build. Took it to get tuned by a vendor on this site that had amazing results for people. Got amazing numbers and everyone patted backs all around. Well I took it to a local shop to only dyno on a dyno day. Strap down and that was it. I quickly realized those numbers were bs. I dropped 75rwhp and like 80rwtq by swapping on dyno. My numbers were more in line with what I should of seen. The eventually went out of business for fudging numbers. Buddy recently bought a Twin turbo Terminator with unreal numbers. Once he got it he had it dynoed and guess what did not make the numbers that were claimed. Can go on for days with these stories but one last one. about 2 years ago a buddy built a twin turbo Z06 and sent it to another buddy to have it tuned. The car came back with record numbers. All were happy. Awhile later it was found out that yep the friend boosted the numbers and did not make the numbers that were claimed. [/QUOTE]
