If you ever think your car feels gutless or is down on power please refer to this car we dynod on sunday at our bi-annual dyno day. It is a bone stock '77 Chevette dream car with a 4 speed manual. factory rated around 48 hp this thing was the dyno champion.

Best of all the woman that drives it has been daily driving it for the past 3 weeks.

 

look at that power curve!

 

I think the power curve flatlined

24 RWHP? that's terrible!

 

Dyno numbers mean nothing. What's it do at the track?

 

probably runs around 1 minute or so in the 1/4

 

just a comparison of a lid/catback LS1 car that dyno'd the same day and the chevette



lol

 

Rofl!!

 

In for the LS swap!

 

Good thing you guys used 2 straps.

 

I seriously cannot stop laughing at this thread. That comparison graph is so fricken funny

 

peak torque at 2.4k rpms, ****'s beast mode.

 

I bet I could hold it back lol

 

Yeah i wish my car made peak torque right off idle like this thing.

 

Forget the dyno straps, just have a guy put a hand on the bumper to hold it.

 

i printed that dyno graph and stuck it on the wall at work.

 

lmao....

this reminds me of the "25rwhp upgrade" a while ago when a guy put a leaf blower on a honda...

 

The leaf blower would double the power the the engine. Killer bolt on.

 

300 shot on the chevette and that dyno chart would be close.

 

Wonder what automatic chevette would of made 15 rwhp?

 

OMG I just pissed myself
to think the word VETTE is in the name of that car.......stop ur killin me
