My guess -- he was squeezing a 50 shot for this run. Notice we don't see the A/F ratios...

Given his history here -- you know that somewhere in here is a lie.

no... are you kidding??? Humid weather is terrible for performance!!! Every one knows this, what are you taling about!?!?!?
actually jim is right do the reserch cooler more humid air is better for performance. ie water injection the water is denser and so has a better latent heat transfer ability that when it enters the combustion chamber it is evaporated absorbs heat which inturn acts as a retardant like having higher octane fuel thus burning more efficiantly, and provides minor oxygen supply for the cooling effect ie cooler air is denser air.

Oh ya...Sorry, you can't do ET on a dynojet, nor can you put load. The only "load" on an inertial dyno is the weight of the drum - and that's constant. This the tuner's choice when he/she purchases the dyno. It's a set weight. Dynojets measure how quickly you accelerate the drum...well, measures velocity, and then extrapolates torque and hp.

You can do 1/4mi ET, 0-60, etc on load dynos (e.g., Mustang, Dyno Dynamics, etc). The load, or resistance to the dyno's roller(s) is usualy from a water brake or a current eddy brake. In either case, the amount of force is measure using a strain gauge. The measured force is REAL torque measurement of the actual output at the wheel. And, once you have torque, it can calculate hp. This is why it's preferred for tuning over dynojets.

geez, where do you guys get all your information? Water and alchy injection lowers combustion temperatures - NOT add oxygen (i.e., DENSER)!!! This allows to run more timing, increased boost, etc.

Reading this thread is so damned frustrating with so much misinformation from the Vegas folks. Nuff said...feel sorry these three.

To quote the immortal Dave...LATES! I'm done with this thread.

Compare the dyno with other 04's. Notice the unusual amount of power before VTEC and the odd hiccup -- surprise exactly what you see on nitroused VTEC cars. When we see the A/F ratios we can be more certain.

We know that Dave has a NOx setup and we know that you three lie -- a lot. There is a lie in here somewhere and my guess is that it is a 50 shot -- which would dovetail perfectly into that map and those numbers at that altitude.
actaully dave sold the nitrous setup to my buddy with an ls hatch and i installed it on saturday.
