The graphs didn't look like much (peak number), but under the curve it was a MUCH more responsive and fun car - I could tell that RIGHT away.

And to keep it on topic - I appreciate the education on the stack location - I have seen youtube videos where shops hurting for space will have a single bay dyno, and have the stack in a completely separate room... so this is def interesting tidbits to pay attention to in the future.
I have told customers that before also. Most people just want to see the peak numbers. Look at Mike's type r crx that we just put the cams in. I have seen people say damn all that money in cams and stuff to make 5 more whp. If you look at the power under the curve and actually drive the car it feels a lot better.

As for the stack being in different areas I somewhat understand that but I would like to do a test and see what kind of difference it makes. Like I said I normally only see a CF of 1.02 to 1.07.
