Well, my car dyno'd 362.6 RWHP and 330 RWTQ. I dont know what to say.

VRX5 238/605 112
Patriot Stage 2 LS6 Heads
LongTubes/ypipe/spiral flow
LS6 Intake
Cold Air Lid
55lb injectors
Smooth Bellows
4l60E 3500 stall
373's

I will post the graph in a little bit, im just so dissapointed. Any thoughts on why so low?

Baseline Dyno

Xtreme Tuning

 

Strange I would have thought it would be more....maybe it's the tune? Curious to see what others are thinking

 

Wow that's strange. Is the motor in good order...good compression?

 

Tune? Slipping tranny?

 

The baseline was 343.3 RWHP and about 300RWTQ.

 

Transmission NEW. Motor is running fine. Compression? I dont know where I could test that.

Xtreme HorsePower told me that seems just about right for a H/C A4 car. This was also Unlocked and SAE Corrected. But something is DEF. wrong.

 

wow. all that for 20hp? something is fut in da butt.

 

Dont feal bad, my car a 98 with ms3 and patriot stage 2 ls1 heads, true duals, 42 # injectors, 4400 stall only put 370hp/320tq to the wheels.

 

How can I not feel bad? LT's and a Lid netted me 300RWHP and 290 RWTQ

 

added graphs

 

i dunno why people get so caught up in dyno numbers....how does the car feel on the road? any faster? have you taken it to the track? was the car tuned for the shot your running? I know alot of people leave the tune conservative because of the spray...

 

Unlocked the converter is probably soakin up about 25-30. So theres a chunk of it.
Fbody? The exhaust is probably costin a few too.
Lock the converter and see what ya get.

 

Theres no way my exhaust is taking much from the dyno. And yes it feels faster, and no I haven't taken it to the track. I just dont understand, there are cam only A4 cars putting down more than me.

 

I would not be happy with those gains unlocked or not but your baseline numbers are not common.

Generally you should have more torque than hp with the stock cam. I would either run it at the track or take it to a dynojet.

Don't worry too much until you do either of those things.

 

This cam isnt stock!!!! Thats why im about go durka durka on this bitch.

236/238 601/605 112

 

something aint right.

 

This cam is supposed to be within 10 rwhp of the vindicator, so something is DEF. wrong.

 

Stock i've ran 12.2@ 110mph. I sure hope I gain more than .4/4mph out of something that cost over 2 grand. I still think there maybe something wrong.

Can a fuel pump be the culprit?

 

The cam isnt the issue its those GARBAGE *** Patriot heads.

I do NOT care how many people love them. ive seen car gain next to NOTHING for putting them on.

Your car can also use a U/D pulley and maybe a 90/90 set up.

Being thats it is an auto, your just not going to be a dyno queen, I bet the car will still run well at the track.

 

lol, the heads supposedly flow 301+ at 600lift. So they shouldnt be that bad should they?
