What does this dyno graph mean?
You want to know the true amount of horsepower your car is making? Well take it to the track and let us know what it runs. Dynos are only really used for tuning purposes.

No ****, tell me how a cars quarter mile times or lap times tell you how much power you make? Do tires/suspension/driver/alignment angles/conditions have anything to do with how fast your car is??

First of all, let me fix your link: http://img154.imageshack.us/my...a.jpg
It all depends on whether your searching for engine power (flywheel), or pavement power (at the tire).
If you are interested in the power between your tires and pavement, that (Dynojet) is a true measurement.
If you are interested in BHP numbers, you will need to find someone with an engine brake and remove the engine from your car for testing.
Dynopack measurements should be somewhere between those two since they don't accurately account for the centripidal loss of the wheel/tire or the frictional/centripedal loss of the transmission; they are calculated based on user input.

The "true" amount all dynos will be different readings no matter what. What are you worried about so much. You already got your car dynoed, don't worry about the numbers so much, too many people do that on here. You should take it to the track and let us know what it runs. From the numbers posted it should be pretty damn fast.
Im going to the track on May 26.But i have to buy some new drag radials.Someone told me to buy 225/50/15 Bfg.I have 205/50/15 right now.Question is will they fit.I also have to Hondata i have it laying around taking it this weekend hopefully.
I can't tell you what your "true HP" is but it looks like that H23 is very strong.
Get to the track and get your trap speed then you'll have a ideal about your "true power".

That power is just a number, how fast you are at the track is how well it will perform with you driving. And yes those 225's will fit...just run your 205's what axles are you running cause you asked about mine for sale.

take it to the track and also weigh the car with you in it. between weight and trap speed you'll get a decent idea.

12's eeek good luck on that. If you have slicks and are an extremely good driver thats gonna be a tough one.

Well i knew someone that had about the same mods as me i think he had like intake and stock header and exhaust running with no tune and ran a best 12.7 at 107mph.Right now im tuned with VAFC but will be on Hondata soon
