Thanks to everyone who showed up. While the turnout was a little lower than expected, everyone had a lot of fun and the event turned out great. Special thanks to Joel (duo) for maning the BBQ and to Brian (PlatnmRex) for helping out and giving rides to everyone who asked.
Here are some of the dynos from the day:
This was the highest HP car of the day care of Lance (Lowball). Major mods include 18G, injectors, Perrin TBE, Perrin FMIC, tuned by Nate at SS:

This is a Cobb Stage 2 03 WRX with HKS downpipe, HKS hipower catback, and removed intake silencer care of Alvin (ASpec818):

This is Simpson's 04 WRX with catback and uppipe, tuned by EQ Tuning:

This is Ken's (SubNub) stock 04 WRX:

This is Mike's (MikeSuby34) 03 WRX with k&n drop-in filter and intake silencer removed. This was deffinately the freak car of the day considering its basically stock! I can't wait to see what this car can do with some tuning.

I'll add a couple more dyno's shortly.
Thanks again to everyone who participated. It really helped me test out the new Road Dyno software and start a nice database of dynos for varying mods.

Thanks again for throwing the bbq/ dyno day. I had a lot of fun and met a lot of really cool people. I'm still surprised with MikeSuby's car, it's good he didn't leave before he had a chance to dyno. I've noticed your dynos look a lot smoother than the old Delta dash ones, no more jagged lines, how did that happen?

Chris,
Thanks for coming... even if you were in an accord! The new road dyno software uses a much better smoothing algorithm than the Deltadash road dyno. That's why the graphs look a lot better

These graphs really drive home the advantage of a custom tune.
For those not paying attention Simpson's car says UPIPE and CATBACK (read: two stock cats). Now may I call your attention to the graphy directly above it. Amazing.

BTW, Alvin's car is making about 10ft-lbs more than simpson's from 3k - 5k RPM which is certainly a signficant difference. But of course as SubNub said, he has a TBE

. Hence, amazing.

Symon,
I'm glad you're happy with the tune. It was also nice to see that the tune is working as expected after being exposed to lots of varying driving conditions and still making consistant and smooth power.
Thanks
