So it has been PROVEN that Volants claims are factual in my situation with the Gibson mod. I as many have always been skeptical what manufactures claim on their dyno's but this has been substantiated in my independent testing as far as the Volant in my case.

Here's a quote from Joe at Volant that I posted on the main Volant thread earlier this month regarding the actual dyno numbers for the Titan.
"Lastly, the dyno came back at 9.7 hp. Now keep in mind they couldn't run the scoop on it. Also remember those are real numbers, not some crap pulled out of the sky. A lot of dyno guys, when you go in, will ask you how much you want to make? Our guy always runs straight numbers, no bull. So don't believe the other companies with their 20 hp gains."
Here's the second response from Joe after requesting info on torque numbers and whether or not the dyno/torque numbers were corrected.
Hi Steve,
I have been told that those numbers should of already been corrected. They were actually run locally here in California. The kit made 8+ pounds of Torque. I will let you tell me if that is a good number or not. The dyno guys seemed to like it. As you can tell I'm not a motor head. Most I could do is tune up, brakes and oil. So I am not sure if 8+ pounds is good or not. Mostly Steve I am here to help answer unanswered questions. Hope I helped.

Just more FYI for everyone interested. Not disputing Finns results, as results will vary with each vehicle. I'm sure this was on a Titan with stock exhaust, so obvioustly much more of an increase will be seen with modded exhaust. Also these numbers are at the wheels and are SAE corrected. So, 9.7hp and 8+ lbs is what Volant claims for the Titan, according to Joe, and this seems about right.
