going to get better numbers with
the dryer cooler weather. Have Bren send you those graphs from the dynapack, they will definitely have a baseline. Bren is a great tuner, btw, the kid is the best at what he does.
I'm not knocking or doubting the OP, tune, or tuner, my point was a base vs final dyno would have been the way to present the gains.

All points considered, it's just a good rule of thumb and it certainly would have helped defend against the inevitable (OP saw it coming too) 'that dyno reads high' argument.
