Earthing systems...
It has been brought to my attention that there was a debate over earthing systems.
I have been tring to get another car on the dyno for the past week or so but our garage has been to busy lately. I was there when the sir went on the dyno before and after the install of the earthing system. The reason that you don't feel the horsepower it makes is due to the fact that it makes power in such a broad powerband without any spikes. As you may know, usually most aftermarket bolt ons will create a spike in the powerband. This spike is what makes you think your car is faster. Now, if you use a product that makes power across the entire rpm range, you wouldn't feel it because it stays smooth. The kit made 4whp from 4000-9500rpm. Can you feel the difference?Not a chance! Dynos don't lie though. As soon as we have time I will dyno again and will post the results.

What is the measurement error? What happens if you don't change anything on the car and dyno it like 5-10 times. What will the variance be?

If it turns out to be true, and it only cost $35, thats a damn good deal.

The dyno runs were back to back within 5 minutes of each other. Variances are very low. And trust me I was a bigger skeptic than anyone else at the shop. The dyno proved me wrong. I'm a believer now.

And what do you mean by low? 1 whp? 4 whp?
