No need to be defensive. It's just a conversation. If you can't handle it, don't post on the subject.

When he posted the graph, the dyno readings skyrocketed when the truck hit the factory rev limiter, obviously skewing his "peak" numbers. He honestly believe his truck made that peak power for a split second of RPM...LOL
That's kind of what I'm referring to. People do stuff like that putting way too much stock into dyno numbers for bragging rights but then only end up looking like a clown when the performance of the vehicle doesn't match claimed peak numbers.

The only numbers that matter are performance numbers at the track and A/F ratio.
