You actually can't compare dyno runs on different days on different dyno's. A dyno is a tuning tool, and nothing more. I am very impressed with the torque numbers, looks great Joe!
Let me quote a little something from the guy who built the pipes for my bike about dyno runs, he also built the worlds only street legal 200mph Harley.
Is an engine that produces 235 hp any better than an engine that produces 225 hp?..Well maybe it is and maybe it isn't. What is the definition of horsepower anyway? The common definition is HP = (Torque x RPM) / 5252. Everyone is so enamored of peak horsepower these days.
We hate to burst their ego-filled bubble, but in the real world it's the rate of acceleration that wins races, not peak horsepower. Torque is the most important element of the equation and if you can't produce torque in the lower rpm ranges it will take forever to get to the upper rpm ranges where the dyno junkies worship the God of peak horsepower. Every time you grab the next gear your rpms fall and you have to climb that elusive mountain to get back to those so damn important peak power readings. The rate of acceleration from one point to the next is how we judge a vehicle's performance, not how much peak horsepower it makes. The right question isn't peak horsepower but is the search for maximum torque in the rpm band that produces the greatest transient acceleration.
The next time you need a definition of useable power take a look at all the diesels roaming the highways. They are out there for a good reason, they make a bunch of torque right now, not at the top of the rpm band. A typical diesel will crank out 90% of its torque by 2000rpm!
Just some food for thought, I have pretty much the same setup as Joe and peak torque is around 3250 on my car, I am sure Joe's is close to the same. That is freakin awesome and says a lot for Lyndon's tune, check the torque spec's on a V-8 Mustang they are less than Joe's.
