New STS Dyno #'s We did an LS1 STS install and tune on an otherwise stock 2002 WS6.
Before the turbo kit, the car had a lid and muffler.
Car has the following mods:
Z06 clutch
Car has fully stock exhaust system, manifolds, even CATS!
On a dynamometer (Mustang Dyno) it made 444RWHP, 514RWTQ @ 4750RPM and after that spun the tires hard so had to let off. Tried adding weight to rear but no luck. Clutch also starts to let go around top end.
Conversion factors between dynojets and dynamometers are generally pretty different, but the owner of the shop says for dynojet numbers you can add 15% of the HP and TQ made on his dynamometer to roughly get near dynojet numbers. I have personally seen the results from a friends Lightning on both dynos and it is about that.
To test this theory we will be getting it on a Dynojet soon. Will post back once we have results.
So lets see, Final Dynojet Result ~ 510RWHP/591RWTQ
This is at ~ 8.5psi on methanol.
He is extremely happy with the setup and should be getting to the track by the end of next week.

I'm gonna try testing out wrapping my exhaust with header wrap all the way back and see if that helps any. Because of my turbo sizing I have terrible lag so anything should help.
I also notice that when the motor and turbo are cold the thing wont spool for ****. Once warm it's a night and day difference though.
