Good to hear you're home Garry. Yeah... the daily blood tests would really be a drag... But I'm sure they have their reasons... Nothing but recovery and good news from here on in my friend.

Regarding your Vette, 15 to 20 % is a pretty significant difference in power loss was from DaSilva to Davenport but the elevation differential would account for some of that. Air density is a wonderful thing but as we get higher in altitude, the declining density sucks horsepower more that we would think. The average is between 3% and 4% loss per 305 metres of altitude gain. Thus Toronto at about 970 metres lower than Calgary (1046 m) equates to between 9.5 % and 12.7 % power difference... or in your case, a Horsepower loss of from 71 to 94 ponies. Dynos can also have some variences as well. Especially in different designs. But that being said, 20% is stll quite a drastic variance. But Davenport comes highly recommended and I'm sure you will be smiling when you get your baby back.
