So Friday I did a 3rd gear log and link was estimating hp to be 510. Today I up the boost a little and I'm only making 435 hp with a TERRIBLE drop off after 6000 rpms. My wideband is shot so that's why I'm not loggin it at the moment. What I can tell you is on the first log my a/f was 11.0 and on the second log it was 11.8. Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

The hp numbers arent accurate unless you edit the settings to tbe exact weight and size tires of your vehicle. I never use the hp estimator because i dont believe its anywhere near accurate even though ecmlink says it is.
 
Yeah I understand how they can be a little inaccurate but what I'm trying to figure out is how are these logs so drastically different from each other when there were minimal changes to the tune? If anything the hp should have logged higher since I raised the boost and leaned it out a little.
 
If you want accurate results a real dyno is where youre going to get it. If the car feels more powerful than it did before the changes just let it be. If it feels slower than obviously simethings wrong. I was always able to tell when my car didnt feel like it usually did.

Yeah I think I will hit a dyne tomorrow if one is open. As far as how it feels; it's scary fast! Did you look at any of the logs I posted? I always like getting 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinions:thumb:
 
No i havent, im on my phone. I will for sure check em out when i get on my laptop. If you do dyno it, id undo whatever you changed whether it be tune or just boost setting, dyno it, then chane it to what you have now and dyno it again, so you know for a fact its just the software showing crazy numbers.

Yeah that's a good idea.
