I havent seen a thread like this here so im asking now......whats more important to you, a good dyno sheet with big numbers or a fast ET? This is a heavy subject in the Lightning community since most owners are so fast to point out there numbers on the lastest roller spin and then there is always somebody who points out " if you havent got a time slip on it the dyno sheet means squat" ( yes ive seen that exact post before numerous times )
Anyway what are your thoughts on the two? If you spend money on mods doesnt the dyno and power production mean a lot to you? Not just a fast ET? Lets say you put a grand in go fast goodies you did some weight reduction at the same time then went to the track and saw a .4 reduction in your ET how would you know if it came from additional power production or the new diet you put it on? You could easily assume your making more power when in fact you could have nothing over what you previoulsy had and just gained some et from cutting the dead weight.
To me I feel they are equaly important when your looking at performance improvements. You cant go off a dyno sheet alone or a time slip. Ive seen guys split on either side of the fence and be more focused on one or the other and some like me want to know where they stand on both sides for a more accurate picture of where their ride sets. So whats more important to you? Knowing how much power you have, or knowing your in a certain time class?
