guess we need to have a tuner shootout @ the track... match up the cars by the different tuners in the bay area, cause we all know Dyno's can lie sometimes

too bad different drivers, cars, suspensions, tires, etc will all be a larger factor than overall power.

Back to back runs on the same dyno, same day is usually the best (ie, Dyno day)

So who tunes for longevity, who tunes so that it lasts that day and blows up the next, who tunes so aggresive that the car blows up on the mill the first time? Suspensions, tires, drivers, phase of the moon, what else?

Also don't forget about the cars with strong engines. Since we've seen baseline dyno's of stock motors differ from car to car on the same dyno. These kind of shootouts don't prove anything.

But Paul's shootouts do prove to be effective. lol

those cats are so beautiful, I wish I could have one as a pet and not have it lunge for my neck when I got close to it.

Oh man, that's sad. I would have rather shot the dog.

Is that really a bobcat? We used to get them going after our chickens when I was a kid. I didn't remember them having so many spots, and thought they had a lot more longer fur on their head most specifically ears and behind their chin.
