My Comments About "dyno Queen" Statements...
#19
no...you seem to be simply confusing a car DEPENDENT on high octane to run properly with cars that BENEFITS from high octane. Neither of those scenarios has anything to do with the term "dyno queen" anyway. Many people build a track-only car that can only run on race gas or that sucks ass on the street. So what? That's STILL not a "dyno queen".

Jay and Tom are right on here.

Dyno Queen = high #s on the dyno that don't play out accordingly in performance on the track/strip.

eg. 500whp Mustang running similar times to a 700whp Mustang...great...700whp is impressive...but it means virtually nothing other than to produce impressive #s on a dyno and demonstrate some engineering/tuning cleverness to squeeze out more power. That would be a dyno queen, IMHO.

The type of fuel used is pretty much irrelevant. All anyone should really do, for comparitive purposes, is post the fuel they used when they did their dyno run.
Car-less for the first time in years...
