so i got my car on the dyno and the numbers were really low.... i have full bolt ons and a tr226/226 cam. it only dynod at 343rwhp and around 380torque. it was depressing when i saw the numbers but at the track it ran consistant 12.1s at 111 with a 1.7 60ft. does this seem right or do you think something might be up?

I don't know if it's just me (and I'm an M6 guy and admittedly don't know all that much about auto setups), but that big gap in between the rwhp and rwtq (especially with the torque being that much higher) strikes me as a little odd. But those are just dyno numbers which don't mean **** especially being an automatic.

Was it tuned by a reputable tuner? What gear is in it? What was the weather/DA at the time of your track visit? Full weight? Don't forget, the best mod you can do is just get seat time in the car at the track. It'll go faster.

Hmmm....that does sound a bit low to me, but like 95 Z28 stated, dyno numbers don't mean a whole lot by themselves. I've got an LS6/A4 in my '01
Z28 with nothing more than bolt-on's and a tune and it dyno'd 373rwhp, but is running identical times to yours. Same best et, same mph, same 60', everything. I wouldn't be too upset about it. As long as it runs the numbers who cares?

Do you have it tuned

yeah it was tuned by a reputable tuner. it has a stock gear in it. dont get me wrong i think the times are fine for what it is being only a small tr226/226 i just thought the numbers would be a little higher. the cars full weight 38** without me in it so i think pulling some weight and getting my 60ft down should get me an 11.9 and i havent even sprayed it yet so im not worried. but yeah its jus numbers i was wondering about

was the converter locked on the dyno?

You said you haven't sprayed it yet. Is it tuned for nitrous? If the timing has been set at a safe level for nitrous use the N/A dyno numbers will be a little lower. I think for your mods and race weight the ET and MPH are good, so don't let the dyno upset you.

My car with the 6 speed pulled 435HP with a lean tune. I swapped to the TH350 and with the same tune it pulled 384HP, and after richening to a safe AFR it managed 405. Most with a similar setup to mine would be upset with those dyno numbers, but the track times tell the real story.

does it have heads or headers? if it cant breathe then those numbers sound right.

my tr224 w 3200 edge, and full exhaust put down 365/350 corrected in 3rd gear with the converter unlocked. best so far at the track was a 12.15 @111 with a 1.69 60ft.

that converter is not designed to be locked on the dyno.

yes the conveter was locked. its a yank ss 3600. im running the money maker kit and the shop told me it was running really rich on spray so they said they could only run an 80shot on it. kinda upset about that but the times i ran im happy with. like i said before that was the first time ive ever been to the track and raced my car so i think it still has more in it

it has headers but stock heads. i ran it with the cut out open also

its all to do with power curve. you must have a good power curve. dont worry, 300's throughout the powerband are better than peaks at 500

A stalled auto will never make big numbers on the dyno.

transamfreak01

iTrader: (8)

yeah i no it wont make big numbers.im hoping with a set of patriots itll make a good amount more but im going to hold off until winter and enjoy the car this summer
