That's what I would say too.

I did. That's what made me decide to continue with the project. Unfortunately, because someone else was paying for the testing
I didn't get the hard copies, but I did get some (crappy) screen captures from the video at the end of the session. I had the camera focused on the gas analyzer as we were testing it under load, but it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck when we ran the second dyno test (the first one with the additive in) and I rushed to the gas station to get more gas to mix more in. 10/18/2010. The tech asked me if I had put "liquid dynamite" in it. I'm assuming he meant nitroglycerine. BTW, it would have taken 4 gallons of nitromethane in 16 gal. of gas to get the results I got with 4 mL of the additive. I made it stronger since then.
The Dash Dyno duplicates the curves of the "real" DynoJet chassis dyno almost perfectly, but it's a pita to enter in all the info. I seldom have the barometric pressure data, frontal area, etc. available to me.
