I concur. I’ve been a good customer of a serious tuner in Portland who uses a Mustang. They too take no credence in the “number.” It’s only a reference to be used for test and tune. My STI ran 242 hp on their dyno with a down pipe, stock exhaust and the Perrin intake. After the Ecuteck reflash and a full exhaust, it made 298 hp. Either way, it’s irrelevant to the actual functioning of the ride. The Dyno Dynamics unit is a top-drawer tool! Rather than the front tires bobbling along on which ever roller they happen to land on, the DD unit adjusts to the perfect span. I’m pretty sure the DD's ability to hold a given rev is also a huge advantage. That’s why the Rocket Rally torque charts look so fat in the middle. Either that, or it is Pat’s ability as a racer that tells him this is what really makes cars go faster!

Thanks Rocket Rally for making my car totally rip – in any gear at any rev!! It’s so cool to have a shop with this capability so close to home.
