Personally I'm not a big fan of drag racing, but just for the sake of finding out exactly how much power I'm putting down, I'll probably make an attempt to get myself out there one of these days.
Going off the fact that Peter made 85 whp on a dynojet (bone stock), I would assume that between his exhaust and intake he would make approximately 4-5 hp. Placing him in the 90whp range. With him putting down 101.1 hp, I'd say it would be safe to say that this dyno is about 10% generous. So by extrapolating from this I would place my car at about 106 whp on the same dyno that Peter ran his car on which was a dynojet.
Does my interpretation of the data sound about right? Considering this is done without an intake, I would say that my mods were extremely successful. Putting down nearly bhp to the wheels is a pretty good accomplishment in my opinion. When the supercharger arrives I'll be back at it to show you guys what difference the KWSC kit does.

It sounds like your clutch and flywheel upgrades are putting better power to the wheels! I bet that is a key mod to finding hidden power from these drivetrains.
How is the clutch, is it typical to a stage 1 act clutch in firmness/engagment?

The current clutch I am using has been said to be extremely heavy and difficult to drive (6 puck unsprung disc). Engagement is either on or off. After you get used to driving with it though, it becomes as easy to drive as the stock car. If I were to compare it to a stage 1 act clutch, I would say that this clutch is slightly more difficult to drive because of the on off engagement, but grab is definitely better.

Out of curiousity i'd love to see what your dyno would look like with an open air filter or just removing the filter altogether, next time you run it try that and lets see what your graphs look like because i'm sure that the stock box is quite restrictive despite the Spoon philosophy.. Your numbers look awesome and also have me considering a Mugen header.. but i might go with an all out spoon setup h/e and a t1r converter pipe... i hope my numbers look as good as yours... can't deal with the 6 puck clutch thou those things make every stop light a launch at the strip..
