ScottSi --> I don't man this is what JK told me how he dynoed a DSM at 310 then brought it there and it was 283 with not a thing changed on it. Who knows. I think it has over 200whp also though because it rapes pretty hard.
It hits a little later, but that's how I would prefer it not to mention how hard it hits. Still a D-Series and nothing much, but very much so an improvement with the little additions (Stevemodes' Cheap **** .60 T-Bird housing swap and new 2.5" upper charge pipe) and fine tuning on the dyno. I'm going to try to get some video up soon on it and might be meeting up with JD (fastcrx) to go to the Mason Dixon Dragway this weekend coming up (if the snow holds off ). Anyone else is MORE than welcome to go also.

Re: Samson Goes to the Dyno...
I am happy with Josh's car, even though it didn't hold boost as well as we would've liked it runs very well. It is nice to ride in a car that has a pretty good power band unlike the "big *** turbo" hondas that I have done lately.
And I just wanted to thank you guys for the feedback. I wouldn't be around with out you guys. I am just glad I can offer a service.
Also as far as the dyno.. I know dyno jets read higher than mustangs and what not... but dyno jets do differ between each other. This is just one example.. built ls/vtec on a dyno jet down the road puts down 178 on stock cams and 193 on S2P2s ( just street tune)
Then comes to my normal dyno and we put down 178 on the first pull with the S2P2 cams and end up with 190 or so on my normal dyno after a lot of cam gear adjustment and fine tuning.
That is just one of many examples of differences for those who "want" the high numbers..
I just use the dyno for what it is made for.. and that is a tuning tool.
