    Default Shock! Software dynomometer calculates consistent believable figures!

    Highest of three peaks recorded over a long trip
    166Kw 299Nm

    atw figure, I believe. I'm not sure of the whole calculation's detail, and I haven't gotten ALL of the vehicles (07mps3) constants entered into the software yet, although everything relative to this calculation is there, I think.

    Recorded a boost peak of 17.8 PSI

    Performance modifying mods are a 3.5" ETS TMIC and a CPE/HKS BPV, and that's all.
    Ambient temp was 11C, IAT was about 13C and although I wasn't monitoring BAT, given the norms I've observed with the ETS fitted, average BAT of about 15C.

    Not suggesting it would pull that on a real dyno, but I am finding it a very believable peak in the conditions.

    Really liking newer version of DashCommand. The default makes my attempts at dashboard design look kinda ghetto.

    Apart from being kinda cool, it's a way of benchmarking and observing the effects that a modification installation has.
    So it will be interesting to see how this figure changes as mods are added.
    I won't be changing the turbo-back, or the intake but should see some gains on that.

    Those figures look much more realistic than some of the figures being thrown around. Its much closer to the Mazda claims so i think it will be much easier for people to understand and compare

    Just realized the 299Nm reading might be the torque @ 166Kw.
    Check out the peak indicator on the torque gauge itself - it's indicating 420Nm
    Still familiarizing myself with the software

    No, just checked the dashboard code and that seems to be 299Nm torque peak independent of the Kw. There's a bug in the layout. I'm gonna cram some more gauges in while I'm at it.
