The best is first to dyno the car without the VK FMIC. Than install the VK and drive at least 500 - 750 miles with the VK (for adaption). Dyno again and compare the results. Absolute numbers between types of dyno's are totaly not important for this test. It is about the relative numbers and their differences. But more important then stupid numbers and graphs, how does the car feel with the VK?

Pointless results without a baseline.

Also, what is that dip at 4500rpm, I thought the PROcede din't have that.....only other lesser tunes that don't "control" timing. Another thing I noticed was how bumpy the graph is, I wonder if you were riding the knock sensore the entire run or something....

Weird scaling, so hard to judge the power curve, but I see lotsa up and down and a huge midrange dip. Is that a beta map? The production ones usually look better than that, I think. Add 15-18% to get dynojet numbers, so figure ~340.

No basline, weird dyno condtions, weird scaling, and the fact that everyone elses graphs from that day look crazy like this means something is just fishy with that dyno place, and these results are unfortunatly pointless

yeah my dyno graph was all over the place as well. i dont think the dyno was that great to be honest. ill post it up sometime today.

also, my car is an automatic and they would always do the step-down instead of shifting manually and slowly giving full throttle in 3rd gear (to prevent the downshift)
