Default Dyno-proven gains from installing DP's

I dyno'd my Stage II in November and added APR downpipes over the holidays. Over the weekend I went back to the dyno to see the difference. As you can see the DP's added ~11HP to the wheels, but close to 50 ft-lbs of torque. For those on the edge about downpipes, I highly recommend them. The car is definitely quicker, with faster spool-up. Next stop... stage 3!

This was on APR 93 octane by the way. 93 octane fuel too.

Sorry it's kinda hard to read, didn't realize the Picture Poster would resize it.

Default Why were the DP runs cut short in the RPM range?

Your base runs are taken to a higher rpm than the DP runs. Any reason why?

Default because....

They can't use the optical or inductive pick ups to determine the redline so they have to calibrate it of the rollers.. ALl it means is the lines to go to redline but the numbers are still accurate
