Curious about my numbers
Curious about my numbers I have been reading about peoples modifications and their numbers. I see that cam only cars are making 380 plus hp on an LS1. I have Patriot LS6 heads, mild cam, ported throttle body, FLP long tubes, 12 bolt with 3.93 gears. I am putting down 392whp. I just think that I would be making more power. That is all!
Thanks

The thing you don't see is the other 50% of the members here not posting there #'s which are just like yours
Your #'s are respectable,between the 12 bolt and your probly missing some bolt-ons which add up. No biggie.

From what i have seen this seems to be the spread. The research is in dynojet can vary on the lowside i would say at least 10% and a high of 20% depends on the dynojet since they all vary with each other as much as 7%. The mustangs we have checked at least all the local ones. they seem to be within 1-2% of each other. Granted weather can play a factor for sure. Someone should start a thread comparing dyno sheets vs timeslips and see how this adds up.just an idea.
And believe it or not those numbers you have calculated add up like they normally do.
Edit:
Whats really interesting is that were are seeing a trend to higher % difference between the mustang and the dynojet as power goes up. Could be due to the fact that mustangs most anyways are loaded dynos that sort of control the step rate and dynojets most of them are pure inertia and show acceleration a bit better. could be the reason for the disparity, Could also be that dynojet dynos just don't properly calculate power.

The other thing is that the intake manifold will HOLD YOU BACK. you do have an LS6 intake correct ? if not that could be your missing HP also some engines seem to vary wildly.How much of a gain did you get from factory with bolts ons to ls6 ported heads and cam ? also what type of dyno ? i wouldn;t call that 231/237 112lsa cam mild. I would call it handicapped. At a certian point with duration the lsa needs to widen up to work with the natural helmoholtz frequency tunning in the intake. there are a million things that could be going on. Post up some sheets of the dyno pull the dyno type etc i will do my best to help you out.
I do have the ls6 intake.
I am not sure what u mean by hanicapped?
