From what Moe has told me, and what I've experienced they are about 1.5db higher. (give or take .1 for various reasons)

I've always burped at 59hz. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

I've always seen approx a 0.5 diff between the ac and termlab.. mainly because for dbdrag street the car is off and stock the car is on..

head to head test at the same time they were off by approx 0.3..

I dunno man. When I run idbl I usually go with the car off because I don't want to kill my alternator.

I do about a 147.3 on the TL with the car off and a 148.6 with the AC.

With the car on I have hit as high as 149.4 on the AC.

At the kingston show, I did a 145.6 on TL, 146.9 on A/C. Both with engine on, burping at 61Hz.
