I'm always curious about the corrected hp conversation because we're in Denver, CO where if we posted uncorrected numbers, everyone would think our cars were broken lol. So we always post a corrected dyno and they are highly corrected here because the atmosphere is much different. What I don't understand is Hong Kong is at sea level. A hot and humid day might give you a slightly corrected number but not 15% off. Just curious why it's corrected that much. Then again, I don't have experience with DynaPack's software and how it calculates hp. This dyno comes in at 267whp uncorrected.

Edit: forgot to mention...those aluminum rods...definitely not a typical rod choice for something like this. That's fancy.

HP numbers sells parts.
People look at the number and think holy shit.

The reader should be aware of this deception. See the circled information.

So not only are the figures in PS (1.13% higher than HP), they are also DELIBERATELY inflated 15% MORE. These are far from "true" power figures. The "TCF" or "Total Correction Factor" is a figure that Dynapack owners can enter at any time (and any value) that serves no other purpose than to "fluff" or artificially "inflate" the figures just so they "look better". This is not 311hp, and anyone expecting it to be is going to be sorely disappointed when they put their car on a dyno that has a dyno operator that doesn't intentionally inflate the power figures.

At most this is something like 265hp. Which we're already making on a 100% stock and unmodified turbo.
What would the 0-60 time on a custom job like that be? That looks crazy!
0-60 would still be unimpressive, probably really high 5's

That's SAE correction though, where you input the pressure, humidity and temp. Not "correction factor"

TCF isn't a correction factor. It's a INFLATION factor. The dyno is already SAE corrected prior to any TCF inflation being applied.

Vit is working on a larger turbo upgrade as we speak. Pretty sure they Dyno'd @maddmatt02 with downpipe intake and tune at 300 lb ft of tq. and the hp number was over 250 or 260. Youll need a clutch to handle that though and it was slipping bad at that power. Vit already has one available through clutchmasters.
Nah, we didn't get that high. If I had the clutch at that point we might have been able to. hit 240/301 but turned it back down after that one run, if it held who knows what a little more tweaking could've done.

Also, at that point it was CAI only, nothing else.

Do you know how much whp/wtq your running? Last video of yours I saw, I think the only mod you had was a downpipe? :O

Good catch. I've seen this stuff many times over the past 18 years.
Also, why no build pics? Those rods or that turbo are not even in that car. Shiesty!

I think we are all patiently waiting for the OP to come back and (try to) justify their claims.
