Low numbers with high $$ parts
Low numbers with high $$ parts This is through an unlocked PT4000 verter. Do these low numbers seem about right? I was hoping for around 450 even with the auto. It might have been with the converter locked...? Also, doesn't it seem he should have kept revving the engine? I actually see it go up just a touch right at the end. I would take it till it starts to nose over, yes? I've got a bunch of money in this thing, but the dyno doesn't show it. Hopefully my track times show that. I'm up for any thoughts.
I wouldnt get caught up in dyno numbers. Maybe lock the converter if you want to see high numbers. I know the feeling tho doing all that work and spending $$$ and not get what you want to see.

Those seem like decent #'s for what's there. HP definitely doesn't tell ET's. My old 98Z put down 360rwhp/359rwtq thru a A4 w/TCI 3800 stall with some weight reduction and only lca's as my suspension on 275 MT DR's thru 3.23 10 bolt and went 11.69 on motor @ 115. Take it to the track and see what she does

OK guys, I understand that these are fair numbers for a loose verter. I wanted to go to the track this Friday but we are getting a ton of rain here in the midwest due to the hurricanes and it just never dried up. I will try to get my ET radials on and get my *** to the track this coming Friday.
On a side note, does anybody see the same thing I do with the chart making a slight curve upward right when he letoff at ~6700 rpm? It hasn't nosed over yet. He didn't ask me how well I was built and I guess I didn't tell. I have a bottom end and valvetrain good for ~7500 if need be. I bet he saw my odometer at 120,000 miles and decided if that was the stock bottom end, he didn't want to blow it
I will take it back this week to tweak some other stuff and have him stand on it for a little bit longer.
