Watching two Auto's race each other would be like watching the Special Olympics... j/k guys.

Anyhow, ZPI is suppose to be releasing some new products soon, I assume after they finish the facility change. I would expect one of those products to be specialized for Auto tC's. Even "I" don't know the skinny on the product releases, I just know I'm to receive one of them.

I'm thinking it was dyno'd with the OD off, forcing it to stay in a lower gear. That could explain the single gear, but with more accurate power.

I am surprised that people who have turbo kits on their cars can't even tell whats going on on a dyno chart. Wow.

PeteyD, run that thing through more then one gear. Try running it in 3rd most likely you would see more power. If anybody wants to explain me how he can possibly make less power then this graph shows, please step it. IMO he can only make more (given same weather).

Yea, only about 1000rpm of it to be exact, he does have more power than what that graph would show. To get a broader picture he would need a tranny lock, dyno it in 3rd and there ya go.

I would not lock the tranny even with aftermarket torque converter. Lockup switch really kills any kind of converter fast. Definetely more power though. I think he will see more power then that graph shows even if her runs unlocked.
