Why 2nd gear? It's not an accurate reading. Those #'s do not look normal for those mods.

It does look like a nitrous pull... not a normal graph

i have no nitrous. thought about getting some, but im keeping my car for a while so i wouldnt want to kill the motor quicker.

because 2nd is the strongest gear, imo. its not an accurate reading? it was dynoed on a mustang dyno by the best tuners in central florida.

my friend had a '97 accord with i/h/e/p and he made 142 whp so these numbers are believable for me

and you'll prolly think im lieing after i tell you this but the temperature for the numbers i made that day, was 91 degrees. of course i had a fan aimed on my engine bay to cool it off for about 5 mins between pulls.

2nd gear isn't accurate b/c its not a good 1:1 ratio between the engine and tranny. Why else do you think every else out there does their pulls in 3rd gear? All dyno's put a fan in front of the car to cool it off and to simulate as if it were actually moving with air flowing into/across the motor.

2nd gear is a low speed, high torque gear. It's meant to get you moving through things like, snow, towing a trailer, up a steep hill, etc. Not for dyno pulls. Go back and put it in D3.

we did do a pull in 3rd gear but they didnt stay on it til redline. they stopped around 6100 rpms, and it made around 133whp.
