Default 01 SS Longtubes, 3" exhaust, tuned

Well I went out to a dyno day over the weekend and put ny car up and unfortunately was a little disappointed. I only put up 324 and for some reason they couldn't get a tq reading. So in guessing maybe I got a bad pull? I was hoping for 350 so that's not to far off. I'm saving for a cam install so hopefully when I dyno tune that ill be somewhat closer.

Dyno can vary quite a bit. I really wouldn't stress it

Horsepower is a function of Torque, so if you have a graph (or know your hp at a give RPM) you can find how much torque it is making at that same RPM.

HP = (Torque x RPM)/5252 ---> Torque = (HP x 5252)/RPM

That's true but its not very hard to get with ls powered cars. I've got a Torquer V3 cam for and tsp said I should expect somewhere in the neighborhood of 390 to 410 but number seems a little far off now.

Numbers don't seem bad. Was it a dynojet or mustang dyno?

I agree dyno's vary it is a little low for an m6 car but if it was on a mustang dyno then those numbers are fine. If it traps 110-112 you're fine. also who tuned it before? If it as just a "canned" tune that could be why a real dyno tune would probably net more power

@mazzenger it was a dynojet
@adamantium no trap yet. Haven't got a chance to get it to the track.
@redbird555 I had a guy down in okc named glen lipinski tune it. He's done both of my fbodys

My car did not dyno well either. I put down 324 as well but on a mustang dyno but to me it seems there was something wrong with the dynojet you were on.

Dont get discouraged. I cammed my car and went from 324 to 389 through a restrictive catback.

Wow! Those are the kins of number increases im hoping for when i get my cam in. I just finished installing a new clutch and light weight flywheel and wonder if that witll help unlock a few horses. What kind of cam did you go with?

My buddies ws6 made 320 before a tune and 355 after a tune with just bolt ons. All hes got is a lid, lt's, true duals, and Powerhaus performance tune.

Maybe there's something wrong with my tune then. I saw a guy put down 311 in a bonestock WS6. I've got the same mods as your buddy and I only put down 13 more hp than a stock car. Doesn't make sense to me.

take it to the track.... dynos are tuning tools. your method should be as follows...

Dyno car=xxx whp

Take car to track=> find trap speed to confirm or debunk dyno

main thing is that other peoples cars here make 350 which is about right then you make 320. tons of variables could affect this but the one thing all these cars have in common s that they should trap 110-113 if you fall outside that bracket then look at the tune

If you have any ou stuff on the car, remove it. An osu sticker will get you and extra 25 rwhp.
