As goes for comparing how much horsepower you have to someone else's car or combo is a big waste of time, IMO. I am certain that I won't put any more money into a dyno sesstion unless it's almost free! I have even found more people that are going faster then I which even show less Horsepower then I on a dyno and would smoke me on any given day. Please don't be fooled by your ##'s and think you can blow someone away. The people with knowledge on combo's will know how fast a car is by the parts listed!. Explicitone most likely knew he could of blown that car away from the get go and never needed to know what his numbers were!
I would have bet money on that race and just beat him by a nose everytime just so he would of kept coming back for more!!!!!
All I have to say is RUN IT!
Look heres an example.
I just went to the track first weekend of April.
LEAVING AT IDLE!!!(950 RPMS)
Shifting at 5200 into 2nd and 3rd. (a little shy...about 1200-1500rpms)
Shuting it down as soon as as I hit 3rd and hitting the brakes...(I blew the dip-stick out and got some oil on the windshield) ...blow by) I need another breather on the engine!
Oh yea,, One small thing...I shattered the sprag on launch!!!

330' 4.576
1/8 7.122 @94.51
Now was I passed the 1/8 mile mark when I shut it down???...I don't know....maybe,...maybe not.
All I know is, that dyno wise...it should have never gone that fast on a good day without one hell of a tail wind! But it did and it has ALOT LEFT IN IT!!
So just run what you got,... and don't worry about how much horspower you supposedly have.
P.S I have a G-Tech to...I think they're cool as well. Just use them as a tunning tool and you will be fine.
