[QUOTE]Redondo, humidity and pressure do vary. The temp differences between the two car tests was only about 4-5 deg F. However, humidity was 55-56% for the 04 runs and only 15-16% for Backcracker's runs. Pressure was also higher for Backcracker's runs - about 0.2"Hg higher.

Not to add more fuel to the fire...

well, ok, I'm going to.

I did a 1:59 the first time I showed up to Laguna Seca in my 2000 s2000. Car scared the crap out of me, despite having lots of seat time in heavily oversteering rwd cars. I got down to a 1:53 on street tires (bridgestone RE71s) and did a 1:51 on race tires (kumho Victoracer V700s)

The 04 does 1 1:51 there, on re050s while being more fun and easier to drive. I'm happy.

Was the 1:51 time in the MY04 by you as well? I'm just asking to make sure.

ps. Very nice time.

BTW, I also would like to know the answer to your question: "Why is the torque spike at peak rpm absent on the dynos that the texas guys posted a few months back?"
The amount of inertia inherent on a dynojet smooths out and masks many small changes in the torque curve, especially at high rpms - not to mention the smoothing used in the software.

The dynapack is a more sensitive instrument - they can pick up the difference in torque output from simply turning on your headlights - a dynojet would never be able to see that.
