Default First dyno for my WS6

I was able to get some numbers from my WS6 this weekend, gives me a starting point to work with now at least. I was a bit supprised with the numbers myself, but I'll let you guys be the judges.

My setup consists of nothing more than a lid, !FRA, and a Magnaflow catback, and this was done on a Dynojet dyno which we all know tend to be a bit more generous in numbers.

Best numbers- 329.7whp / 340wtq

Funny thing, the first pull taken had one of the dyno guys hold a blower up to the lid while they took the pass, 329.7, next pass he laid it on the ground and the car only pulled 319whp. The operator was calling it heatsoak (which I agreed with), but the other guy was saying it was the lack of air present at the lid. The argued this for a minute and finally asked me if they could do another pull with the blowed at the lid again, I of course agree and they take the run.. 329.7whp

I was supprised as anybody, guess the Ram Air effect is real afterall!

I thought I was doing good. Dynoed saturday with only a lid and pulled 315 hp and 327 tq. But we also didn't have any air moving across the front end. I was happy.

Is it cheating? I mean when the car is in motion, where does the air go? Right up through the bottom of the lid right? All he did was simulate normal driving conditions but that's just me..

BTW, 40k miles on the car.

The fan doesn't blow at the radiator, it blows at the front of the car to simulate driving conditions. Taking your air filter out and removing the belt is cheating

when i dyno'd there was jus a blower on the ground aimed toward the car, i was under the assumption he ment he held the blower up so it jus shot air into the lid.
