Default First Dyno #'s w/ Vortech v-9

Just got back from my trip to NJ to get my car tuned at TTP. I must say it was a great trip and Matt and the crew are all great guys. This is my first tune with my vortech kit running the 9lb pully and aftercooler on the g-trim head unit. I was having some idle problems both at stop and moving that was thought to be tuned related to the base program I got from TSP. Matt and the crew took the time to trouble shoot the problem for me and come to find out I'm leaking out of my EGR block off plate. Still managed to put down a solid 476 hp and 447 torque while leaking boost on a conservative toon. Looking to put down 500 or more when the EGR issue is delt with. Thanks for the great experience at TTP.

Why did they do uncorrected power? All they had to do was go to the drop down list and select "SAE". Your numbers are probably inflated about 20 rwhp. Still nice numbers though.

Isn't technology great! They pressed a button and out popped 2 dyno graphs. Both a corrected and uncorrected...I don't see how you can say the uncorrected is inflated. Thats what the car actually put out in the conditions it was run at. Corrected is the # to make it all even for everyone in the world both in elevation, temperaturs and humidity So for those poor guys in the upper elevations who make much less HP can feel better when they get dyno'd. My corrected was 10HP less by the way.

Do you have a boost gauge? You should hook one up and see where the boost is at before and after the egr fix. Can you hear it leaking out? Im sure you arent loosing too much boost from that. I left my evap line off the front of the intake which is a real big air leak and I didnt even see a difference in boost after it was fixed. As for the numbers being corrected. It helps to make better comparisons to others setups.

Good Luck with your new power the car must feal like an animal.

Why thank you I understand how my Dynojet WinPep software works...

We printed out both graphs for BikeBoy. It was his choice which one to post.. And actually #s were around 10 difference.

I'm glad you do Matt , just when people are posting up numbers it's nice for comparison reasons to have it all in SAE. Okay so it's more like 10hp, I guessed high. But uncorrected raises it, and standard raises it even more. It's the truth, it is inflated a little, most people use SAE.

You guys don't have to be dicks about it, I was just wondering. If you mentioned all of that at the beginning, then I wouldn't have asked. Chill out, keep your 10 hp. Now go snake hunting already...

I posted the results as uncorrected because thats what I actually puy down and thats what i'm more likely to put since the air/elevation and humidity are the conditions my car opperates in.... why should my #'s be dropped down to make other people feel better about there # up there in the mountains What I care about is what I put down here where I live. As for the leak, it was pretty bad and deffitetly audible. I fixed it today though and it will not leak again =)

Your first comment was a lot more 'dickly' than mine, lol. Yes when we post numbers we do post SAE so everyone on the boards can play dyno wars.. We hold the "stock bottom end 346ci" heads/cam dyno record at 505rwhp.. I could care less about the dyno #s, car runs 10.7's first pass out that was with 476rwhp sae before we played with the cam & other things, we'll look for low 10's. Uncorrected #s are now 514.

Yes the SAE correction factor usually lowers the # unless you get a really crappy hot, humid day, than the SAE can help.

Actually, depending on the weather conditions corrected can be more or less then uncorrected. On a dynojet if the shop air temp is 50 degress the correction could be .95 which will show the uncorrected numbers higher and if it was 90 degrees in the shop the correction would be 1.03 or so and the SAE numbers would be HIGHER then the uncorrected. Depends on the air temp and barometeric pressure read by the sensor in the stack - you can inflate dynojet SAE numbers quite a bit by heating up the sensor or putting in a place where its always hotter. Not like anyone would ever do that Uncorrected numbers cant be fudged.

Standard and DIN inflate the correction more then SAE, but yes SAE is the norm for comparing..
