| Humourless OK baseline isnt totally pointless (just 'fairly pointless' ) Anything that is manufactured has production tolerance. If we used your baseline method we calibrate using a std CS of UNKNOWN output that also may have a small fault (airleak say) ,we wait 6mths and do a modified run. and compare output ? IMHO not the best way.
Heres another example: We do a baseline run on your CS,which just happens to give a crapy output of 155bhp. Not known at the time the reason the power was particularly low
was due to a well below average port size/alignment on head & manifolds. If we then flow the heads and gain a whopping 40bhp on this car,this will give an inflated figure as to power gains that could be expected on most cars.
If Im going to cheat Im going to cheat. To cheat using 'baseline calibration' (if you can call it that!) all I do is pull the pipe off that goes to my boostguage,so we get an airleak on the
manifold,do a run get a printout for say 153 bhp,go away plug the leak add say a new
exhaust (which is just about to go on sale) do another run and hey presto we have
165bhp. I then go away and market it as 'Adds 12bhp -- Rolling Road Proven!'
On top of that I can then go on to say to those who question it...' Yes AND the rollers read low aswell,,,,the std car only read 153bhp.' Customer says : ' WOW I'll have two of those then !'
