I dyno'd my car twice.

First time slightly moded, my stock clutch started slipping at 360rwhp so I stopped, went home, saved money for a heavy duty clutch, went back a few months later, dyno'd 435rwhp/455rwtq. I've been to lots of dyno sessions just to participate with local car club members and help out but I won't need to dyno again until I perform further substantial mods and I want to confirm results or tune under conditions difficult to maintain on public roads ...like tuning a fuel control computer at full throttle at high boost ...it's not responsible to go 170+mph on public roads. Disclaimer: or call it responsibility claimer or justification of absurd dangerous behaviour: on public roads I drive very responsibly, residential areas I go speed limit or slower, but I race on race tracks a few times a year and hammer it on open highways when nobody is anywhere in sight and I want everything in my car to work properly.
