Great question. I don't know the answer to that. What I _do_ know is that _every_ centrifugal dyno graph I've ever seen has the spike at the beginning...
This even happened with my ATI D-1 on a mustang... And that had a FMU and not a tuned computer.
Perhaps one of the tuners can shed some light on this one. Inquiring minds want to analyze graphs!
