Drooze, I can tell you have a lot to learn about what a dyno can and cannot do and how to read the results.

Not to make you sound ignorant, but can you explain your "Scientific Method"? Is it removing and replacing parts until you see an increase of performance?

What Adger was trying to make you understand is that you need to try to match the baseline from others that are racing your same combination and start from there. Not all performance gains come from the engine itself. Try to quit re-inventing the wheel.
