My dyno sheets? It is a product called the Road Dyno. It is a simple accelerometer that counts igntion pulses to figure acceleration speed. With all the correct inputs, it is supposed to be within 1% of a real dyno.
I am going to run the car on a DynoJet and record my run with the Road Dyno and compare results. I should be able to fine tune my Road Dyno settings to match the DynoJet.
I originally bought it to use as a tuning aid. Even if it was off 50%, you still have a baseline to work off of, and start making tweaks until the power levels off.
Unfortunately, I only got 1 month of road time and a few pulls before my car went up. I am confident I could have seen 300 with my old setup.
Ah well, on to bigger and better things.

I do not know when the score occurred, although before the head gasket blew I was noticing a loss in performance...only slightly though.
As far as the headlights, I have passed PA inspection recently. The fog lights are a fog/driving light combo and work fairly well for where they are on the car.
