I fitted some drag radials today so we'll see what I can do about the 60'. I'm starting to wonder if pushrods could be related, I'm pretty sure I used 7.400 when I built it.


@Andrew: Worth noting that this is the dyno comparisons section - what did you expect? We're talking about a potential tuning / build problem which is evident in the graph not just for dick measuring.

Run it at the track. Your mph will tell the whole story.

Nobody knows the punch line to my Supra joke?

Pay a little attention. The OP has already ran at the track, mentioned in post #1 along other posts. Track time and mph is in post #1.

Take it easy tough guy. With a weight of 3200 pounds the dyno numbers are right on point. The 60' time doesn't impact trap speed significantly.

There is nothing on point about his power or track times. Something is way off.

What car is this in anyway? If it's a 4gen ls1 then go back to stock and start over.

What is this pod air filter you are speaking of? A tiny choked air filter can kill tons of RPM/HP.

I don't think anyones arguing that the dyno figures don't match up to the ET/MPH, but the dyno figures are about 50rwhp down from what you would expect in the first place so you would be hoping it would do far better than the figures suggest...
Don't get me wrong, I'm the last one to wave a laminated dyno sheet around like its worth a pinch of **** but lets be real; if your ls1 with a 23x duration camshaft is making 315rwhp through an m6 - its probably cause for concern. I've seen some plenty of low dyno reading cammed ls1s run deep 11s.. but by 'low' I'm still talking 350-360rwhp, not 315rwhp.
That cam I wouldn't expect to nose over until 6800-6900 either, so obviously something is up.

New vs old filter. New is a 9" K&N.

I agree that the tires and 60' probably won't improve the mph much except that I'll be able to 1-2 shift a bit faster.

Those fuel pressure sensor fittings are just waiting for a fire. I have a video on my YouTube channel that shows what happens when you hang all that off the end of the fuel rail.

Yeah I was waiting for someone to comment on that cluster **** of fittings. I've been meaning to simplify it but maybe an aftermarket fuel rail is just easier. I went and watched your video, did you end up with a new rail?

I was lucky to have discovered that fitting right before a 500 mile road trip. I'm not joking when I said that it would have burned my GTO to the ground. I needed to do an emergency repair because we were on a schedule. I made a few phone calls and managed to get a local guy to fix the rail. We made the trip and the fixed rail is still on the car. I have a spare, just in case.

Get that **** taken care of. You don't need to see your Holden up in smoke.

Was just pointing out OP already did what you were suggesting. His power (peak & rpm) is low enough to raise a red flag even on a low reading dyno. OP's low trap speed raises even a bigger red flag in his instance. There is nothing on point here, especially in a 3200 pound m6 car.
