Those are actually really good numbers for an ECU flash, but what worries me is the stock power/torque (According to the spec sheets I can find) is supposed to be 184/185. The std. maps on those charts show 193/241? Which makes me think that dyno was a bit optimistic. That or the standard run was done with other mod's not listed?
Ahh, either way, cool build. Keep it going. (lol2)
Well keep in mind that the published of 185hp/tq is not wheel horse power; it's crank horsepower.
That explains a lot, I didn't get that this was from an engine dyno. Either way, impressive gains for "only" a flash.
No, it's not from an engine dyno - it purports to be measuring wheel HP and the graphs posted are laughable at best.
This type of dyno cannot directly measure engine HP or torque, it can only approximate it. And the dyno operator can make it say whatever he wants it to say because the resulting numbers are based upon a whole host of assumptions supplied by the operator. In the hands of an honest technician, a dyno can be useful to compare pre-mod/post mod gains or losses. In the hands of a snake oil salesman, the dyno will show incredible gains from any mods they market. And I mean incredible!
Please do not fall for it when they tell you the dyno is scientific and the supplied results never lie.
