no the equation is boost divided by atmospheric pressure bro. So it's BOOST/14.7 if you did it the other way around, like if you were running 7 psi, it'd be 14.7/7 meaning you'd be making MORE power on less boost, THAT doesn't make sense.

14.7/7 + 1 x NA horsepower (190) = 589 HP on 7psi? No way dude. Sorry.
7/14.7 = .476 + 1 = 1.476 x 190 = 280 Sounds WAY correct to me.

I'm not offended, but even Coheed thought you were being abrasive when you weren't even talking to him.

1) Stand next to car and listen under the hood, which is extremely helpful

When you use the word "than" to mean "then" it reduces the meaning of your sentence to gibberish. I don't speak/read gibberish. *shrug*

Again with the gibberish. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here and answer the question you probably meant to ask. No, I don't believe you can tune a car better by just street tuning, compared to just dyno tuning. Both techniques are useful and cover different situations. I will say you can tune a car solely on the street to be safe, reliable, and make gobs of power. No, the timing won't be perfect (you need a dyno for that) but you can get pretty damn close, especially if someone else has done the timing work for you and you can work off that. The current highest WHP BMW M20 engine in the US was entirely street tuned. Ask me how I know.

E85 solves a lot of problems, and is very nice. Too bad it's not available in all regions. =/

Hmmm.............. First of all.. You must be a wee child if your to scared to stand next to a car when its on the dyno...

Second some of us don't sit here and make sure we are using 100% proper grammar when we are posting on a forum! Its more about getting to the point "than" it is about HTF you say it!! SOOOO YEAH.... OH **** I WAS TALKING GIBBERISH!!

Last of all what car is this that has the "HIGHEST HP" that you "STREET TUNED" next to a wall listening for detonation?

boostin50, don't assume than everybody here is a follower or a noob when it comes to tuning. Ben knows his sh!t, in fact I'm using one of his maps on my brothers BMW 325 turbo.

Even though we don't post in pissing matches, there are many of us here who just lurk, that individually have probably tuned 10x the amount of cars that you have.

Humility goes a long way in the pursuit of gaining knowledge.

Not really comparable in this case, don't forget he is 4000 feet above sea level.
