Now add hydraulic dampening and then we'll have a proper timing belt tensioner!

We actually poicked up a little more HP at 12:1 air/fuel ratio too.
... dyno operator ... suggested ... 3rd gear pull... lines were very much smoother in 3rd gear. He said ... rate of sampling of the DynoJet ... 3rd gear pull ... 4 seconds long where in 4th gear the pull lasted maybe 7 or 8 seconds so there were many more samples taken. Not sure if that is true - but the 3rd gear pull was almost perfectly smooth compared to the same pull in 4th gear.
The above is why, in my first post, I mentioned the measurement technique. Out of context of the DynoJet if you are tracking a pure sine wave signal and sample every 360 degrees (or 2*PI radians) you will 'measure' a straight line. That's very smooth compared to sampling a sine wave every 180 degrees which gives your a sawtooth.
It all comes down to how many samples the Dyno can record during a pull. The more the better - up to a point. The DynoJet needs only to measure velocity of the drum, engine RPM and time. I can only think of a few sources of inaccuracy - RPM measurement and tire slippage. The former may tie in with 'grounding the chassis' during a pull.
Honestly - they went away in 3rd gear,
Answers from the DynoJet website:
RPM accuracy: +/- 1/10th RPM, timing 1 microsecond, drum speed 1/100th MPH.
That's pretty darn accurate and leaves only tire slippage as a source of measurement inaccuracy. (Unless, static or other electrical effects threw off the RPM measurement.) It also means that the Dynojet can take as many samples as it pleases. From eyeballing the original graph it looks like samples every 50 rpm. That's about 14 samples per second given a 7 second run from 2000 rpm to 7000 rpm. Child's play in terms of rate for the DynoJet.
It would be interesting to get the raw data (e.g. each individual measurement) from the pulls. How many samples? They should be stored on the DynoJet's computer and available in a tab-delimited or CSV format or - worse case - a printout.
I'm not convinced of anything yet - other than Tim's kit bolting on a seriously cost-effective amount of power - but I think those squiggly lines at 11:5 in 4th gear may be real.

I believe the inertia of the drums would preempt such sudden variances in the curve...
If they were "real", you would have experienced a horrible fluttering vibration on the dyno.
C'mon guys.

First, let me re-state that I have no conclusion. I'm trying to elicit more information and more understanding. The squigglies could be real or a problem with measurement - or maybe a little of both.
The inertia of the drum is resistance to acceleration. The variances in the curve simply show that the acceleration of the drum varied - cyclicly with small periods of very high acceleration followed by merely high acceleration. Or IOW - all positive acceleration just sometimes more-wildly positive than otherwise.
The biggest up/down variation is - by eyeball - about 20 ft-lbs from 4.5k to 4.9k with three cycles. At that point with over 350 ft-lbs on tap, 20 ft-lbs is less than 6% variation. I do not think buttometers would notice a 6% variation that cycles three times in under one second and then is more-or-less steady.
What is the threshold sensitivity of the average buttometer?
If they are not real then from where do they come? All guesses and/or informed opinions accepted...
They are not the result of too-few samples. Quite the opposite. The 5+% squiggliness we see is far more than what one would expect given the stated-by-the-maker accuracy of the DynoJet. If they are in fact by-products of measurement - either induced by measurement or uncharacterized noise - then there is a way to characterize and quantify the effect. A 5+% measurement variation is pitiful at this macro scale.

I agree with Lag - it's hard to know how much to tighten a new SC belt - you want to go a little easy on the bearings in a new supercharger until they bed in a bit. Also - the rate of acceleration on a dyno that produces belt slippage will never be duplicated in the real world.
From Andy:
1) the Murf kit does not require a hole in the WWasher reservoir.
2) the kit does not require R&R of the intake manifold.
3) the kit does not require replacement of the knock sensors.
4) the kit does require removal of the stock 24lb injectors and replacement with 30 lb injectors that are provided.
"Non-Invasive" in medicine means not entering the body. In engine mods, it means not enteriing the engine. The Murf kit and the 928M kit are non-invasive, true bolt-on kits.
Remember that there is not "one right way" - there are a variety of ways to get more HP out of any motor: Boring, stroking, nitrous, turbo, roots supercharger, twin-screw SC, centrifugal SC, axial SC, fuel additives; and they ALL WORK if designed and engineered correctly. Each method has its pluses and minuses and unique characteristics.
It is not neccesary to put down another's product because it is different than your own. Point out the differences and leave it at that.

Just to add to what Carl has stated above:
It is our policy to be as forth coming with information as we possibly can with all of our customers. Those that have dealt with me personally know that to be the case (at least I hope you all do

Regardless, they should have some idea...
