10's on $5,000 ?

When the car and combo isn’t “junk”.......it’s not as obvious at 14.35@117.

What if it was 11.40@117, but you were expecting 118-119.
Is it making enough power to run 118-119 and the converter is slipping too much, or the fuel pump can’t keep up?
Or does it only make enough power to go 117.
What about 11.10@117.
Is it running into a valvetrain stability issue at the top end? Converter slipping?

I get what you are saying, and as I posted earlier, I'm not against dyno's or dyno tuning. I've personally never hauled a motor an hour to a shop to pay $$$$ and spend a day dyno tuning. Dyno's can never simulate real car burden of chassis working, wind resistance burden, and changing temps of everyday weather.
