[QUOTE="skyeking, post: 14590534, member: 166725"] Took her to another dyno place and she ran 316 hp, so i called up the first guy and said, "hey, whats the deal with this huge difference?'' he told me thats his specific dyno, that reads like that and that if i added 13% to the numbers off the sheet it would compare to what i might find on others... So i did the math 281x1.13= u guessed it, 318 hp. he asked me if the guys out front explained that before i left, and i was like "we were the only ones here." (it was like 8:30 PM) he said, oh my bad. sooooo, here we are about 1k miles later and there is still some kind of head tick. (i hoped it would go away with the break in) this was the reason for the rebuild in the first place... not very loud only makes it between 1500 and 2500 rpm. cannot hear it above the radio playing quietly. and im waiting for an open bay to take it back up to the shop. I'm on the fence as to how i feel about this shop, TCS Automotive. they are super nice people and seem to know what they're doing, but $6200 later and same noise.
