Take into consideration that both tests were done on 2 different dynos. The differences between the 2 could be quite large depending on the condition of both dynos, the heat in the dynos bearings, and the way that the parasitics were set up. Unfortunately its gonna be hard to get a true comparison between the 2. I would say that your best bet for comparison would be at the track.

Your power returns will increase as your motor needs it, you won't always see a huge return on exhaust/header changes unless your motor was corked up to begin with.

Jeff, the computer sets the scale, not us. After you make the run, the computer pretty much takes over. If your torque and horsepower didn't cross at 5250, it wasn't anything that we did, that's just what the computer read.
