The biggest difference is that I give my cars hell on a daily basis and the other car (a mates) isn't driven as hard.

The IC will make a big difference as will the mufflers (probably more than the IC) but there's more to the equation than just 'dyno chart' compares. ;-)

EIDT: Not to mention the affect of something as simple as tyre pressures. ;-)
Hey cpitts (assuming the same as Lib ASN),

I think with regard to driving that you could put Dave's and mine in the same "like it's stolen" category, both our cars have/had the same number of Km's, no tyre pressures to worry about as it was a hub dyno, almost exactly the same time of year for the tunes (albeit a year apart).

I do agree that the dyno is only a tool of relative comparison rather than absolute measurement but discussions are bound to appear discussing "why is your power less . . ."

Hope life and your Lib is treating you well.

Yes colour coding the grill is part of the plan although I did toy with the idea of introducing some CF there
