Hello everyone - I'm back from the dyno!
I got a pretty good baseline run with my best hp figure being 174.8 and my highest torque on that same run at 224.7 ftlbs... Not too shabby if you ask me :D - Im pretty satisfied being I don't have a 3" pipe and stock cat and all...
Here are the runs I did
Run 1 - 171.6rwhp / 213.5 torque
Run 2 - 170.5rwhp / 210.8 torque
Run 3 - 174.8rwhp / 224.7 torque
The reason run 3 was HIGHER was because I *gasp* removed the MAF screen. :D
Yes, I tried it, and expecting a loss of power I was utterly shocked to see +5hp and +10torque by removing that little screen. Even cooler is that it isn't apparant just at the peak marks, but ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE DYNO there is a nice little positive power gap [img]smile.gif[/img] . Now, I'm not trying to sell this as anything more than what I witnessed. You can take it as good or take it as BS, I am in no way telling you to go remove your MAF screen. But, my car reacted favorably too it, and so I'm leaving mine out for the remainder of its life...
---Edit---
Every dyno run we did, we verified the water temperature before the run. We made sure the water temp didn't vary much and being so we got what I consider to be reliable results.
In any case, there are the numbers, and I'm happy with them...

Has anyone else done this. The last time I asked I was told that it makes the car run bad. Card. does you car run and idle ok with the screen off?? By the way, nice dyno readings there.
