Our dyno numbers in "normal" mode are identical to our "shoot-out" mode numbers, and both are displaying whp..not flywheel.
I know you and I have had dyno debates in the past, I dont want this thread to go off topic, so if you need some clarifcation, just PM me.
In regards to tire pressure, we use 35psi across the board, since most tires are already inflated pretty close to these levels. DD does recommend higher pressure, but it does not effect the numbers in a meaningful way. They actually suggest that we strap the car down tightly, then inflate the tires to about 40-50psi in order to really bite into the rollers.

You can reverse calculate torque in excel from a few data points if you really want to see it...
Anyway, very nice, smooth curve, Sharif. I can't wait to see mine! What's with the Greddy favoritism? You've gotta work your magic w/ more JWT 700bb kits
. Good luck trying to get a decent curve on my auto... maybe Sam's mods will help

I am not spilling any numbers till we have fully tested this Set-up. We are working on a turn key, balenced Drag/road course set up fro a G35 or 350Z.
When I post I will back it up by times, not dyno numbers.

Hey on a tangential note, which track in NC do you go to? I don't think there's much in my area (RDU) so I'm looking for the closest spot for drag and I think VIR is the closest real road course.

VIR is the only one I bother with, but going to Atlanta on the 14th 15th.
Drag you have Rockingham, and Fayetteville, this track is open every Sunday is prep-ed pretty decent, and is open from 1 to 6pm. Only rule is if you have any bars you must have a helmet... You could run 9's and they wouldn't care a bit if you had a roll bar or not.

RC, most good road courses necessitate a long drive...its part of the experience. The ones we have been to so far, that are also within your distance, are Road Atlanta, Carolina Motorsports Park, Roebling Road, and Barber. VIR is a little too far for me, but should be good for you and Eagle. 
So Eagle, are you confirmed for Road ATL with Panoz in July? Jose and I are signed up.

Thanks Sharif - I need to find out how to get involved at the novice level...
Eagle, I may end up coming back through Fayetteville and try a few runs bringing my car back from ForgedPerformance on July 15.

Wow!
