That perfect dyno pull doesn't capture the knock events at 3000rpm or AFR drift during daily driving. Continuous data monitoring reveals what's actually happening to your tune between dyno sessions.
That 30whp difference between dyno runs isn't about one shop being wrong. Peak power tells you almost nothing about your VQ35DE's actual performance or tune quality.
