I remember going to a dyno day at a shop that I am not going to name many years ago.
There was a crusty dude who obviously did not know much about what he was talking about running the show.
It was very clear to me that he was enjoying the attention of his time on the microphone.
He actually reminded me a lot of an old time circus ring leader.
Anyway he was obviously promoting his own business at his best but a few of the spectators were laughing about him & his lack of credibility.
I remember one car that was put on the dyno was a white stock VT II LS1 Berlina, it made about 163rwkw.
He then instructed his assistant to load one of his shops basic mail order type tunes while the car was still sitting there & run it up again on the dyno.
About 5 minutes later the same car was making around 230rwkw.
He commented that they would do better with a full custom tune but what they had just done was just
to show people how good they were & how much extra power they could get out of a car easily.
I just shook my head in disbelief & walked away.
