The NSteXpo 2002 Dyno Day Report is finally complete and ready for download from NSXPrime.com, and will soon be linked to from the Performance section of the "Official" NSX FAQ.
The information is presented in a "here-it-is" format. There is no twisting of the numbers, scaling of the graphs, or interpretations of the data. There are 17 vehicles with three pulls each, followed by a " Supercharger Shootout", where I compare three different 3.0L supercharged vehicles (BaschBoost, Comptech and GruppeM) against a normally aspirated vehicle of similar configuration as well as against each other.
The only disclaimer, warning, or consumer product alert that I felt was necessary to include was the fact that the BaschBoost supercharged vehicle was utilizing a pulley designed to provide about 4 lbs. of boost, yet the ECU software (fuel map, etc.) is expecting 9 lbs. of boost. I felt it was fair to note this... not because I have one on order and need to feel better about the results, but because I can imagine the sh*tstorm that is likely to pop up on certain web message boards about the performance being different than the graphs / reports on the Science of Speed or Dali Racing websites where the units are sold. Again... it's not an excuse... just the facts in a "here-it-is" format.
Quite a bit of time went into the production of this... it basically kept me busy for 24+ hours while stuck back in the cargo, cattle and tech industry employee section of the flight both to and from Japan a week ago. I hope you enjoy paging through it.
You can download the report in PDF format (4.4MB file size) from NSXPrime through this link:

Thanks for the patience in waiting for this, and I hope to see you all back here in Dallas in a few months for NSXPO2002!
