Just got home. I've been running around trying to take care of final touches for the run tomorrow. I'll get my sheet up later tonight.
Thanks for the coffee, Linda, and the donuts, Darin.
As long as we dyno in the same gear after any mods, it should be okay. There may be little variation introduced by the gearing, but not enough to worry about. The baseline for making "ammo" with is the important bit.

So I know this will be very n00b-ish of me, but I'm posting the pics that Darin took for me when I was on the dyno. I thought it was pretty cool... as you can see by the grin 
Thanks for setting it up Darin!

Not sure if this scanned page is going to be readable, so here are the numbers for Run 5 just in case (BTW - bone stock):
Max Power: 183.2
Max Torque: 134.4
Max Air/Fuel: 17.5
I'm clueless about web hosting, so I'll take lessons if this isn't what you had in mind

I'll scan the results tonight. I was told 
that dynojet had a version of the run viewer for a REAL operating system, so I was going to make a little cleaner image. Since I don't run MS stuff at home, I'll have hook up my scanner instead.

Power!!
I think it's interesting to look at Linda's AFR's compared to mine. Her's are more jagged and dip well below 12.0 in some places. Where as mine are very smooth and hover right around 12.0. It doesn't look like there is a significant difference in the power output of the engine through most of the rev band but the smoothness of the curve is definitely very different.
I wonder why there is such a difference if our cars and computers are supposed to be close to identical? Could it be variation in the mass air flow sensors? Any thoughts?
Oh DMP, the reason my fuse pull didn't produce anything is because we didn't leave it out long enough to reset. When I got in the car and drove off all my radio presets were still there. We'll have to try next time.
Kris' graph with the fuse pull was really interesting. Don't want to spoil the suprise though.

My presets were still there too. Interesting that nothing changed on yours, but it did for me.
Now I just have to find a way to get that working with a Push To Pass button.

Well of course. He has to justify the next round of mods to Jen. I mean he already spent all that dough to get the same few ponies pulling a fuse bought me. Although, as I look at the graph, mine kept going up every friggin pull. I should I have stayed there all day. By 3 o' clock, I'd have been pulling 220, easy.
It was definitely a great time. Unfortunately I don't have one of the rare 200-at-the-wheels cars so I have to take all the blame for my mileage. 16mpg on an average tank, summer or winter. I can't wait 'till I manage to get that into the single digits (can anyone say "AFE Super Charger").

You 'do' have a 200whp RX8 - depends on the mood of your car, however.
