Well, the split-fires probably don't do any harm, but they don't do any good either.

Wow! this is wierd. I dyno my dak one day and the next time I check my
email there is all this dyno-talk. Kinda Twilight Zoneish.... Yes I
can see into the future, I see vortech, paxton... Oh I'm just dreaming
again :-)

I think that mine might be the most "stock" dak to be dynoed to date. I
only have two real performance mods and a colder tstat. I don't
consider the Splitfires to be performace mods but I don't think they do
any harm. Also mine is a '93 so my factory specs are 230hp and
285ft/lbs (I might be off on torque, can never remember that one)
