myself and Jeff B talked w/ the owner of the dyno @ MSR-C. turns out that it is the dyno that was @ Kwik Kar that caused all the "drama" @ the begining of the year. we mentioned how that dyno was suspect of reading low. the new owner informed me that there were 2 major issues w/ the dyno that were discovered shortly after it was installed (and yes, after todd made dyno pulls on it).
first was the brakes were dragging. before they were fixed, you could turn the drum by hand but it would not free spin. now it will spin for about a minute if you spin it w/ your hand.
second, the weather station was giving a wrong humidity reading. it was like 20% off. that will also contribute to a bad correction factor. the weather station is being sent in next week for repair. the brake issue has resulted in a power increas of 5-6 HP on a spec miata (90-115hp).
if you certed on that dyno @ the KK location, it would be in your best intrest to re-dyno. otherwise, you will go over your limit. just a friendly heads-up.
