They're meant to be a measurement tool. Comparing 6MT to DCT with street tires vs. race tires, in 100 degree heat vs. 35 degrees at 2700 ft altitude vs. sea level with two different drivers is the true definition of complete irrelevance.

PG, you usually think very rationally, why are you not in this case? When two cars are at the same exact place, on the same exact roads, same exact weather, the conditions that hinder the car effect BOTH cars. Read that again, BOTH CARS. So your excuse does not apply here...

He did that to show and prove how biased your little efficiency thread was; and he did a very good job at it too!

Your right, I mean Drew's numbers weren't at an independent dyno right? Niterider didn't post independent dyno's either. Ricky didn't get independent dyno's, ect ect ect... What are you trying to say here?

Wait a minute, I thought taking the filter off doesn't always equate to more boost, why would I be at risk? I kid I kid
What I was trying to say was that just because taking the filter off a car gains you boost, doesn't mean things are unsafe as Roman said..
