I'll tell you what happened during the dyno day a couple of weeks ago.
I won't draw any conclusions, just relate the event. A guy put his V6
Dakota up on the dyno, the only mods he had I know of was an MSD 6A
ignition and Jet II. He did the run. The graph showed a whole bunch
of funny spikes, and the hp results left a lot to be desired. I don't
remember the numbers, but the owner was disappointed, and I remember
the tech who was running the dyno saying the numbers didn't look good.
When the tech asked what mods the guy had and the owner replied, the
tech reacted to the Jet II rather negatively, and told the guy to take
it off. He did, and the next dyno run showed a smoother curve and a
slight increase in horsepower. The tech said the Jet II's are junk
and he's never seen his dyno show an improvement with one in the three
years he's had it. I have no opinion on this, just relating what
happened.
