as much as I would love for this to be true..

after installing my Helix intercooler.. (did it leaving a autobahn res stop so the speeds are legal)
Max speed 100.3 (I went faster but Dyniolicious stopped it there
Max Acceleration .52 G's

Get this... Peak HP...
Wait for it...

239HP

Lat run I did (wet road with tire spin and before my intake)
166hp.

Can this be for real? Do I have a freak car?
By the way mods are 3" exhaust from the DP back, Alta CAI, and Helix IC.
The weight of the car was taken from the door jam data plate as well.I can't believe it. I just did a Dynolicious run

If I'm not mistaken, the Dynolicious is accelerometer based. Your results would be skewed by the wheel spin that you experienced on your control run. If you are feeling energetic, and have some (a lot) of time to kill. Do another series of runs in the car's present state, go back to stock and do runs, and then re-install the performance parts, and do runs again. Sound like fun? It's the best way to get reliable deltas, no matter what type of dyno you are using.

I was only picking. It is an Apple app for Itouch or Iphone that is basically a pocket dyno. http://www.dynolicious.com/ It is somewhat accurate.

Your data is also skewed by the weight number you entered. The weight listed on the plate in the door jamb is GROSS vehicle weight. It's how much weight the manufacturer specifies as a safe maximum. It is always going to be higher than what the car actually weighs.

I usually use ~2850 lbs (2650 + 150 for me and 50 for gas), its probably on the shy side, but i just leave the weight the same so i can see performance gains from mods

Ok, a little more believable. 180HP. Without a tune, I am happy with that!

Late 80s. I also had a cheap GT, good bike but it was not their flagship frame nor components.
