Guys, the Cobb dyno is like many tools: it has MUCH greater sensitivity towards CHANGES rather than absolute figures. Sorry but your 250 whp is......wrong. The numbers it gives are known to not be very accurate- HOWEVER if you do a pull with a "stock" map or before adding some other mod, and then do another will with the AP on a tuned map, or after adding some other mod, the DIFFERENCE between the two "hp" numbers should be a fairly accurate measure of gains. I actually want to try this on wednesday night, using the stock map and my MM tuned map.

I'll be there by 9:30-

Also all you motorheads, I'm meeting up with some friends to go for a "brisk" nighttime drive later on around 11PM, anyone want to come with us? One guy has a Ducatti, probably a second biker as well, Melina and me are driving i think we each have a passenger spoken for, I'm not sure who else, probably my friend with a 335 as well. Probably approximately in the port jefferson - middle island area.

Let me know early if possible if you want to come along....
