Actually, you are correct in your skepticism. Those numbers are not "real". They are simply an artifact caused by the small differences in the manner in which the dyno operator opened the throttle. The lines are accurate only after the throttle is fully opened.

Thanks for your reply and explanation.

It was the June 2005 5.0 Magazine that had an article claming that Bassani cats, X-pipe and axle back plus tune coudl give you 40+ HP. Personally I think most of the power comes from the comp cats and not as much from the x-pipe or axle back. Putting on the whole system though does require a tune. I am getting mine tuned next week b/c the cats, x pipe and axle back are causing mine to run lean and the check engine light is on.
