Low Dyno Numbers I dynoed my Car on a Mustang Dyno 9 months ago
I had the lid off.
only mods were a lid
stock 2002 Camaro Z28 M6
It was at my school.
we dynoed on 4th gear for a 1:1 ratio
I only put down 248 RWHP.
can anyone tell me what I did wrong here?
Ill try and find the graph later.
could a different weight entered on teh computer make a difference?
Oh and the humity wasnt high and it was cool weather.

Was it a Mustang dyno? Did you pull to 6k?
The dyno could just be messed up... I saw a stock Honda Civic SI dyno ilke 205whp and like 210wtq. hahahaha
It also did the 1/4 run on it and ran a 14.5 or something like that... hrm. Unlikely in both cases

But all cars got low readings on that dyno.
a 5.0 with all boltons got 180 RWHP.
and Infiniti G35 with intake and exhuast got somewhere in 180 RWHP ballpark or so as well.
also I did a 1/4 mile run on it also and did mid 14s, whereas in real life I would have been in the mid 13s at the time.

Twitchy? It was slow to accelerate. I went from 50 mph to 125 mph on the dyno in 4th gear.

Its the only proper way to do it. I have had issues with my belts to the load cells scrubbing on the pulleys cuasing chaos. A good dyno operator will periodically inspect his machine to assure its working properly. My first geuss however is that the load cell TQ sensors are miscalibrated by the sounds of it. slow to accelrate is normal with this machine. It applys a real known load if everything is working properly.
