Default Put the LT1 on the dyno today

Well I was at a car show that was giving everyone who was interested 2 free pulls on their dynojet. I said what the hell and and put it on to see what it would do. The final result was 293rwhp and 338rwtq with the mods in my sig. Not too bad IMO considering that she turned 139k miles while on the rollers...

Those are good numbers for just Longtubes and exhaust.

Thanks guys. The car is pretty clean but it has its flaws.

Pancho- It was a semi-private gathering put on by Jesel and Zaino in Farmingdale

Nice numbers for the relatively light mods you have. Wish I would have heard about this free dyno, I'm not far from there.

Did they really wrap.the strap through your rim? Last time they did that to my car it rubbed the paying off and I was.not so happy. They ended up replacing the wheel after.they told.my.**** off. Good.numbers for exhaust....

Glad those headers worked out! Great number btw. My numbers should be similar once I get all this damn suspension dialed in so I can drive it to the dyno.

Yeah, super strong freak of nature. Any track time with your current setup.

Really? That's about what I'd expect from an M6 with a good tune and exhaust.
coolman, your powerpeak comes in a couple of hundred rpm low. A valvespring upgrade might help it even more. 1.6 rockers with the better springs definitely would. Nevertheless, it's doing very well as is

Why don't the numbers cross at 5250? Is the graph edited to show more power when clearly it is a slow 14 sec loud LT1 car?

They do cross. The torque values are scaled higher (on the right), the hp is scaled on the left. At 5250 it is making roughly 275-280 torque and hp.

Why do they not intersect at 5250 like every other graph on the internet?

Looks chopped to me.

Yea but not when it was 100%

My best was 13.5 @103 with a 2.1 60ft, shot stock clutch, and a broken trans. I have a rental in Oct that should hopefully yield some better times...
