Good point! I'll plug the Cobb computer in and measure RPM from that today. But .1 inch wont make that big a difference from the advans. Its diameter times pie to get the extra circumference, so thats like .3 inches extra rolling.

The needles are digital and self calibrating, no teeth to be off by

I did talk with Calvin though he said the factory gauges are off by as much as 300 RPM.

So that goes back to the original comment; if its got 500hp it 'should' be going significantly faster than it is. Based on those numbers its a bit slower than a stock version of the same car??? Hopefully it is only the speedo...

They were a vendor here. Long story short they would inflate dyno numbers by fudging the CF on their Dyno Dynamics dyno.

Also they did some shoddy installs on some cars they were working on. Telling customers the parts were at fault meanwhile they were installing them improperly and pictures were posted to show how botched install was.

As was said before on this forum I would let them work on my weedwacker

I watched that street vid too. All that glorious sound but the car was barely moving. That camera was not mounted. But from the same school as the butt dyno when an evo is under full song the camera usually ends up moving all over the place because the passenger is get hammered into the seat. I know not very scientific but I gotta agree it was like watching cop shows from the 70's where dodge k cars sounded like v8's.
