Touge would be cool until you went head on into a bike or semi.

Wow this thread has gotten big in just two days. Im thinking about going and joining the fun. Hopefully ill learn to drive my new set up. But ill trailer my car since I don’t want to run the risk of something going wrong with the swap just in case better be safe then sorry. I hope I can make it because it would be nice to see the high hp vq's and I can actually see what I can do with my swap and compare if it was well worth it or not LOL.

I dont think so. Dyno dynamics dynos aren't 'heart breakers' due to the fact that people automatically assume correction % when they run on them. It's a crutch IMO when trying to compare numbers. (and yes I know its never an exact science)

Well if its a crutch how come on my 440DD setup i was walking 500DJ cars left and right. Further more on my 440 setup that i put on a DJ i made more than 500 and i was rich as hell. And we all know when you lean out a car you make more power.

and on a side note im just wondering how come you have to argue every fact with me and you can't just say ok. I said OK to you before.

Negative pal, a dyno dynamics with no correction is what you use when your tired of being lied to and want to see what your car is really making without the assistance of a 3000lb roller and cyntrifical force on your side. <---Smileys...
On a serious note, Rome on his 440 DD tune was walking Cobras left and right that made just over 500hp on a dyno jet and weighed the same as the Z when you factored in Rome's big a$$.
