Ok so I'm actually deployed and have a 01 Trans Am ws6. I have a LQ9 with torquermaxx stage 3 cam, 3400 stall, and 799 heads It got dynoed today and only 373hp and 351 tq. This seems very low to me. What you guys think
[QUOTE=foxsl;19077141]The first question everyone will ask is, is that with the torque converter locked or unlocked?
If unlocked then 30 rwhp less than expected is normal.
If that's locked, the next question is what was the injector duty cycle, as in were the injectors maxed I'm guessing unlocked. It's a A4 and it has 42lb injectors in it so it shouldn't be maxed out

Oh ok ya definitely not maxed out. The unlocked would explain it all
Yes I agree I just don't it should've dynoed that low
Well here's some food for thought concerning dyno numbers...a while back on a very stingy dyno I made 415 rwhp, but my buddy made just over 500 rwhp on his Cobra. Guess what....from a 40-120 roll we were practically dead even. Bottom line....don't sweat the number
