Okay first of all i don't mean to start a war with this thread. Just want to clarify something?s that i think members should be aware. Last night my buddy and i were heading to get his car dyno, at a mustang dyno. They didn't have a AWD so i could n't dyno my car. I wanted to drag race him to get a reference of perhaps how much my car is pushing. Anyways, we draggred race 3 times on a empty stretch of road from about 50- to 120. I would pull about 3-4 car lengths from those speeds and at higher speeds just walk away. We get to the dyno and his e55 k put down an awesome hp/ tq curve. But it only put down 390whp and 460tq. I was a bit shocked thinking wow, i weight in my car and it was 3340 with 1/4 tank of gas. and i can barely pull on him. I must have way lower HP then what i though i had. Nonetheless he was also disappointed with his numbers, and my friend had an ipod with the dyno testing on it. We were heck why not , lets give it a shot see how accurate it is. I entered in the proper weight of the car and drivers weight. And we did the runs. The ipod said the car had 394 rwhp. Fair enough, very close to what the dyno said, and this is outside getting air ! I said what the heck lets do my car. I entered the proper weight, and went for it. IT came back with 368rwhp. I was :eek:. All this time i thought i had over 400rwhp. Boy was i wrong. I did the run 3 times, all the times within a few hp difference. I get home and search for Vivids racing dyno chart on a base flash. I have DV's and K&n , Straight pipes. And looking at the graph i realized how much superior the EPL tune is over any of its relative competitors in the same price range. The graphs themselves speak the truth! I figured i would share this information, so if anyone is looking for a flash, just from looking at the dyno graphs, it seems like the EPL tune is worth the money. I think i might go get one, but i'm a bit hesitant. Not because i think the vivid upsolute is superior, but because eh screw it- it just means i just have to become a better track driver and get some light seats, learn to drive better on the track and then get the EPL tune which imo from looking at the graphts its much, much better. Congrats to EPL for making an amazing tune for our cars. And us as consumers should look into the hp/tq curve before making decisions!
