I got 218 rwhp with CT cai. 221 rwhp after VAFC dynotuning. Funny thing is this was after driving straight down to UL's from SF. Talk about heat soak. The OBD II was showing temp readings in the 190-200+ range. Time to get some cooling mods. This is the same dyno tuner several S2000 owners have used, so the numbers are consistent in terms of both precision and accuracy. If you are as relatively close to Ultimate Lurker (Torrance, CA) as I am, 400 miles from SF-LA, go see him. It is well worth your while.

Iwould like to comment that in my humble opinion, that all dynos are different. Proof was when i dynoed my car and got 123kW(a rolling dyno). About a month later at a different dyno I got 144kW(another rolling dyno). Same car no extra mods. Say what u want about atmospehric pressure, air humidity, air temperature etc.
The odd 20kW in my opinion can't account for all those factors...
My friend's prelude that got a 129kW at the same dyno i used 2nd time round, but got 137kW on a hub dyno(again same car no extra mods/tuning).
Since there is no true standard, I would not worry too much about getting low readings etc.
To me dyno is only good for 2 things:
1) tuning
2) comparing cars on the day

Point of clarification: My "actual horsepower" (rear wheel) was recorded at 210.3. In the poll, I voted 210. After conversion, my "SAE horsepower" (rear wheel) was recorded at 202.3. Either way I'm pleased.

Im curious on the accuracy thing. We are having a dyno day here in Chicago this month and we are going to be using a different type of dyno. This one actually requires that you remove your rear wheels and the dyno hooks up directly to the rotors. Supposedly this will give a more accurate reading. Anyone have any experience or insight on this type of dyno?
