Good ole Kenne Bell. I used their stuff exclusively in the '90s. Their old IC setup, THE best CAI I've ever used or seen, and a dial a chip or whetever it was called where I inserted a key and could change between 5 different chips including a nitrous chip.

Good info in that article. KB is known to slightly exaggerate sometimes but good info none the less. His name is actually Jim Bell.

The best line is this "All else equal there are only 2 and only 2, tuning factors that effect engine output- ignition timing and AF ratio". I've been trying to say this for years. That's why I don't understand why some people pay $600 for a so called tune. You're only changing 2 items and it's extremely easy to tune.

The one thing I don't know why he said was that cooler interooler water will not increase power. It does.

Good write up and exactly why I've always generally been in the "dynos are a waste of money camp". This should be stickied so people here don't get all butt-hurt when others are a little skeptical about their questionable dyno numbers.

"BUT...I have a dyno sheet to prove it!"

Also good info for the ones who don't believe you can get a very accurate idea of the power your car is making by running it at the track and getting an actual time slip.
