every dyno reads different, some dynos if they are not setup right can read really up

also check for boost leaks

what manifold (log, short runner, topmount)? what turbo? a properly spec'ed turbo kit can make a world of difference.

if you had a rev-hard kit, i'd say you on the money. if your running full-race then i'd say your way low.

we assumed the misfiring was caused by an old tired dizzy cap and rotor ( they looked bad anyway )
so to save me from more headache i just told him to install m&w pro10 + crane coil, well that fixed the misfiring

my turbo setup is completely custom, heres my full setup:

81.5mm 9:1 JE pistons
Eagle Rods
Darton solid sleeves
SuperTech dual valve springs + retainers
ITR cams
Adj cam gears
JG manifold
70mm TB
SC61 turbo S housing + P-trim wheel in .63 a/r housing
custom high mount turbo manifold
880cc precision injectors + walbro pump

it was dynoed on a rolling dyno type ( dyno dynamics ?? )
car seems going really hard it just the final power figure really really dissapointed me

Hp/TQ numbers are exactly that. Numbers are numbers. If the car feels strong and you're happy with it, then the numbers shouldn't matter.

I would take it to the track. Obviously you were expecting a strong 11 sec. car if 335whp was depressing. Run it man, you'll feel alot better if you hit your goal on the track. And personally, I'd say it's more braggin' rights to have super times with such low dyno #'s.

If you would, post up the dyno..

Run someone w/a car you think would be close..see what happens...??

But I do think for the mods the #'s are low, but track and mph tell a different story..

Don't mean to thread jack, but why not run platinum? What about denso iridium? Thanks

denso iridum are fragile.. dont run em... in the event that you do get a little detonation the insulator will break and trash stuff.

i run ngk iridum in everything, something making over 300 on pump gas id run an 8 heat range.

I thought irridium was mainly for plug life? One reason I ask is because all the plug info I've seen leads to that, and my friend's IS300 only had to change out the oem iridium plugs at 45k.
