Do you have a Seat intake on your car Sam?

Power curve is nice and flat to redline. I do remember some of the graphs dropping off on the day (can't remember whose I was looking at)

Would be good to see everyone elses plots.. If they're not already framed and hanging on the wall

Nope, no intake mode except the Forge TIP, but that's not for horsepower.

Dave, do you have your printout handy? Wanna scan and post?

Cheers, Sam. That fixed it. Here's a few pics from the day:

Sorry ... that's all I got before I had to leave.

Sam got a great result for just a DP. Although, he's never had a base dyno, ie just flash, so it's difficult to accurately determine what his DP added power wise. It seems there's considerable variation between base dyno runs with just flash alone - varies from 116-125. I'm suspecting that Sam has a strong base, probably around 125, and the DP gave his car 6-7kw.

Dave and Rhys car had very close peak runs, with flash & intake (123kW). Rhys' started to drop off as it had about 6 or 7 runs in a row, but the result of the mods on different cars seemed to be very predictable on the day.

The varying results would have come from the intake temperatures as they were trying to show how each car reacted as it got hotter. Rhys's has a full heatsoak test where they ran it for a few minutes before doing his last 2 power runs.

It will be interesting to see all the info Alex logged (intake temps etc etc) to see the full picture. Peak power means little if it's a sharp peak.

I was happy with my peak number but also the curve and the consistency. As long as each person is happy, that's all that matters.
