231/237 dyno numbers

376HP / 351TQ.

Not as high as I would like, but I am not disappointed either. Time to go back to the track.

Sounds about right, should be a little higher. I could only pull 357 with that cam, but i have an a4. I have a buddy with a full bolt on m6 with that cam & he put down 404. I think my car is a dud on the dyno though. Dont let it fool you I was putting down some really good times at the track. 12.00's at 115-116mph. That cam pulls like hell, but it doesnt put down the dyno #'s. Keep us posted with the track times.

Really? Are they that bad?

Here is a crappy shot of the graph. I took it with my camera since my scanner isn't hooked up.

It was in the LS1 internal engine because I thought people would be interested for comparing cams. It was moved by a mod.

It sould be in the tune, If your just a full bolt on cam only car then your 26's should still be fine. See if the tuner cant richen it up a bit.

I would tend to agree but would definitly recommend goin with some 30+lb injectors soon as your probably running out of injector or will be very soon

i can not wait to see what my car runs at the track with a cam swap. i am currently installing the 231/237 and other goodies listed in sig. do you guys think 400 rwhp is achievable with an A4 and the right tune.

I don't think an A4 will see 400rwhp w/o locking the converter. Your AFR is out of whack black_ws6

i say bump to a bigger injector and get a better tune i had a full bolt on car with the tsp 231/237 in a 2000 m6 heres my graph

my injector duty cyle was running at like 108% so i bumped to a 39lb injector (running a dry shot along with a DP kit) and it runs a **** ton better. i broke the car before i could dyno it again or take it to the track but IMO it ran really good.

My cam-only 231/237 numbers started at 387rwhp. Then, the rest of the bolt-ons and heads crept the numbers up to 425rwhp (with 400rwhp being the best cam-only figure), then the last round of bolt-ons made the numbers jump to 460rwhp. It's a top end cam than needs to breathe-LOTS!
In the end, it breathed in thru a full 85mm/90mm intake tract and out through QTP HVMC LT's.
