First, the basics:

2001.5, 6-Speed (M-Box)
100% stock
93 Octane
65F, high humidity
1000 feet
Just myself

Average of three runs in three different locations, seperated by a few minutes each: 6.06, 6.06, 6.05. Net: 6.06, or ~6.1.

When I first started capturing my FATS times a few weeks ago, I was surprised at the results considering what I'd read and my recent dyno results. I consulted with some wizened old veterans, re-logged the data multiple times, and re-ran the tests at several different locations. As long as the car was still breathing relatively cool air (and timing wasn't being pulled by the ECU), I found myself getting very consistent results.

I'll let the pretty pictures do the talking:









Note that when I converted to PSI, I subtracted the reported vacuum at idle of 970 mBar:







Big thanks to Nye, Doc, and Darin for their email consultation, as well as Mark P for his idiot-proof FATS calculator.

I'm encouraged by the results - now if only I could be convinced to mod the car! :)
