I finally got around to putting the Corolla on the dyno. I guess the old phrase of the cobbler's children have no shoes applies here, as since the car has been assembled I just never seemed to find the time (or motivation) to put it on the dyno. We ran Olympus and Mt Hood on the quick street tune I did when driving from scruitineering to The Ridge the night before Olympus.
All dyno runs were done with rally tires, at race air pressure. This isn't ideal for a dyno number but I really don't care about the number. It is just a tool to gauge how the engine is performing. I also still have the original exhaust on the car, which is probably borderline not being enough to begin with, and is smashed almost in half in a couple places (thank you Olympus!!). Hopefully before next season I will get the exhaust all fixed and a couple other small things to get a bit more out of her. Street tune versus what I ended up with after dyno:

Couple more graphs, showing power and torque made at different throttle openings. This is one of many cases where a smaller throttle body probably wouldn't hurt anything, at least at this power level. That may change as I open up other bottlenecks in the current system (mainly the exhaust side of things right now).
Currently I run my throttle 1:1 (10% pedal = 10% blade) but using this data one could change that ratio to make the power delivery more progressive (10% pedal = 10% power type of thing). I like that it responds real quick to subtle throttle changes so I doubt I change it. Some people do not like that. Personal preference, nothing more. Graph showing hp:
