Well I was thinking yours was the one that was claimed to have a couple pounds more boost than stock? Am I maybe thinking of the 227hp one below then?

Here's the two I was going off mostly:
evo 8: 271 rated - 212awhp = 21.77% loss
evo 9: 286 rated - 227awhp = 20.63% loss

also the t25 gsx only pulled off a 149, although it's old enough that it may need some work to be as good as stock.

Yea with Scheides uping your boost a hair with Tephra and an Intake system that is what you made.

So it could be more than 18%.

Matts right, I've been told drive train loss on my dsm was about 18% or so on a dyno dynamics.

But yes, dyno dynamics are the lowest reading dynos out there, yet most accurate imo. Either way, a number is just a number and doesn't really mean a whole lot. Now a track number...that's different

No shit, Dyno don't mean nothin' if you can't drive worth a damn.

Let's see some timeslips from all the dick waggers!

I ran on the dyno day because 50 bucks didn't sound too bad to me, and because it sounded like fun -- I've never even watched a chassis dyno in person before, only an engine dyno a few different times with my V8 Ford racecar engines.

It seems that there are quite a few people who think a car CANNOT be tuned without a dyno. Sure you will gain power, but I think you should be able to be tuned pretty solid before you get there if you've spent time driving and street tuning. If you are going to try some different parts on your car while at the dyno, then it would be extremely useful -- I would assume that the average person doesn't do a whole lot of that though.

For me, about 3/4 of the fun of having a performance type car is tuning it myself. I wouldn't have much fun to put on a bunch of parts and then hand the car to someone else to do the tuning, or especially have someone else do all the work on the car as well.

i went 14.2@99.99mph with a 2.6 60ft, hehe. I can't wait to see what it'll do now. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I can get 12's with it next time it's out. w00t.

14's at a high mph.

Evos are underated from the factory, if anything. They put down more power to the wheels AWD than STi's on our dyno and the STi is rated at 300hp. AWD Dynojets read very high.

To get from the normal numbers that our dyno gives AWD to AWD Dynojet numbers, you needs to take your numbers and add 18-20%. On EvoM they pretty much use 1.2 as the correction factor needed to go from an AWD Dyno Dynamics to an AWD Dynojet. So an EVO putting down 300awhp on our dyno might be around 360awhp on a Dynojet. The Dynopack(the one you take the wheels off and connect to the hubs) reads even higher than a Dynojet. The difference between 2WD numbers on the Dyno Dynamics and Dynojet is not as much.

For stock 2003-2004 Evo 8s, I usually see 205-210awhp. For the 2005 Evo 8s, usually 210-215awhp. And 220-225awhp for a stock Evo 9. Stock 04-05 STis I have probably seen 195-210awhp. Stock or close to stock DSMs are usually in the 140-150awhp range. Stock 02-03 WRXs are 145-155awhp.
