Default Approx 440-450 HP on 100oct. Seems in line with what they advertise

At least, for a regular Stage III kit. Not sure about the extra goodies Hartmann has/hasn't.

Default I'm still waiting to see what these cars do at the strip.

I do know that some cars act funny on the dyno. After seeing to cars that ran even on the highway from 40-140, but then one dyno 60whp different than the other.....it's hard to tell what the hell is really going on anymore.

I am suprised the Hartmann car didn't do better....but I would be interested in hearing how some of these cars would fair in 40-150mph pulls against one another.

Default Prodigy's car shows the same power on the dyno as mine (same dyno) .. BUT...

at the track he runs a couple to a few 10ths quicker than i run .. He's got better rowing skills .. SO maybe that's it .. SO yeah, dynos alone aren't great but they give a nice idea.

Default Oh, I'm interested in the dyno. The shape of the curves is what i like to see.

I just like to use more than one measuring stick when using this kind of competition. Cause I guarantee some of the lower dynoing cars will run just as good at the strip, no matter who's driving.

Default Sometimes I wonder if some of the extra "STUFF" isn't hurting more than helping.

Could be if it wasn't tunned FOR IT!!

Default Exactly why I have none of those extras

When you start bolting those on, I'd look to custom tuning.
