Default New Florida dyno numbers for the Formy

Thought some of you might be interested in this. I went with a local car club to a dyno day out in Alabama today and here are the results.

Previous dyno numbers for the car in cali were 462hp/460tq in cool weather as you all probably know.
This is SAE Corrected.

The dyno temps today were 92 degrees out side, and 50-52% Humidity when i dynoed. Since the previous numbers, i have gutted the cats, added another surge valve to equalize the pressure. Ow and some sheity 4:10 gears.
here are the results.
highest numbers were with the cutout open, the other is threw the hooker catback. only lost 10.35hp and 3.72 tq threw the hooker

Nice. I remember gaining alot of power after dropping my cats and adding the cutout on my old Z28.

Congrats,

Derek

Ya know thats something I have always wondered, If a Dyno corrects to the same altitude/standard numbers how can they be different if they are corrected? Great numbers!

Still good numbers Chris! The deep south humidity really sucks! We always dyno a little lower than some other areas in the country.
