Just a little competition for all you turbo guys.
This was in the high 80s to low 90s so I'm sure it's capable of a lot more in some nice 60 degree weather. Heres the vid.

I see more and more of this stuff and I just don't get it. With my Vortech T-trim I ran 10.40 at 133 mph at full street weight+ and only made 550 rwhp. Now that I have a turbo, I ran 9.9 at 146 mph and made only 695 rwhp, which is pretty dang close to your current rwhp. I wish my car dyno'd better. . .

Congrats!!! Enjoy it while the stock 60e lasts.....whats the raceweight?

It's called slip. My car will run much better when I dont have a loose *** 4000 stall and a stock 4l60e. Theres no way I'm making 682rwhp @ the track. On the dyno my converter was locked. Are your #s locked or unlocked? It doesn't matter anyway, who cares what you dyno, it's ET that matters.

Thanks man. I plan to go th400 in the near future just wanted to see what I could do with what I have now. The race weight is around 3700 with me in it.

engineermike

Mine are unlocked (TH350), but I did switch to a tighter converter with not much difference in rwhp.

I know, but I want to be cool on the internet, where rwhp rules all!

lol, yeah I hear ya. I bet you got me in rwtq though with that 388, mines only a baby stock bottom end 346

Great run man! What are your shift points set at on the stock 4l60-e? I am having some issues getting mine to shift at WOT, wants to bang the limiter....

Yea well sometimes I dont whether to laugh or cry at my dyno numbers. I dont post them because they really dont mean much to me. Shame a useful tuning tool has been turned into a marketing tool but thats how it goes.

Got to remember dragstrip numbers arent corrected and on a 86 degree day A2A procharged cars arent exactly in their prime.

For example if you take and correct his ET/MPH to sea level it comes out to 10.10 @ 132 (2700' at Byron at 3pm Friday) and that still only comes out 590rwhp @ 3700lbs. But SAE correction is not sea level correction, confused yet, but wait the converter was locked on the dyno but not at the track

Anyhow, my point is just enjoy it and have fun with it, the dyno spit those numbers out and so did the dragstrip so they are both 'real.' Either way 10.40s with a stock bottom end full weight D1SC car on a 86 degree day is pretty impressive IMO.

Good stuff bro-pretty impressive in that kind of weather!

Mike you made me waste a nose full of Bud light!!

Kp, i like it when you post your dyno numbers. I can search the 'net for a calculator that makes mine better than yours and then i can thump my chest!! (my e-dick is bigger than yours )

rufretic....great numbers with the weight. A GOOD converter like KP always preaches would pick up most everyones et that posts here, including mine. Forced induction converters seem to be tough to get right...especially turbo cars. I will get a good one one day when my dyno numbers wont pass Kp

Thats why I dont post my dyno numbers, my e-peepee is small enough already

Its all just numbers anyhow, like I always say, as long as you think you are getting all the power/ET out of the parts you are using then be happy.

EXACTLY what you got me working on. I cant wait for the fall/winter!!

Nice numbers on a stock bottom end! Bob

On a side note, does locking the converter give you similar #'s to a six speed on the dyno? It seems to me that they would both be direct drive (1 to 1) and should dyno pretty close.

Thanks.
It's shifting at 6900rpms. When I first did my stall, it was doing the same thing as yours. We figured out that it needed a lower mph on the shift points and that fixed it. If it doesn't hit the mph it's set to shift at before it hits the rpm it's set to shift at, it will bounce off the limiter until it hits the right mph and then shift. Not sure if thats the problem your having but it's worth a shot.

Thanks Bob.

I'm not sure if it's going to make it an exact comparison with a 6 speed, but it will defenetly make it closer.

I do know before I had the procharger and was making 408rwhp locked, I was still beating 6-speeds with 420+. A lot more goes into it than rwhp though so I'm not sure how relavent that is.

a dyno with out brake specific numbers is moot any way.... when some one actually uses a dyno with brake specific numbers its hard to deny its power...

i've come to agree with kp and my engine builder... screw the dyno and send the car to the track.... mine ran 6.72 with a 1.50 60ft while wheel hopping with stock front tires and a 200+ ECT on take off.... but this was with only 572rwhp

now that i have shocks and skinnies and will be able to dial hte car in on some drag radials im sure a 6.5x with a decent 60' is in the bag...

right now im just running a true radial class (non competition tires only) and able to hit 1.62 60' and ease on the gas to make a 7.21 8th mile....

i like my procharger too
