Re: 250 max hp Dyno Run Thanks guys for you help.
Trojan, yea it does have the Flowmasters, I just never mention it.
Well im pretty sure its not the timing or compression cuz my car rides good. And if that were the case wouldnt i be getting ses lights and my car would be running bad. I mean when I put the cam in i noticed the change. and it doesn't feel that slow at all.
First thing im going to do is plug and wire change. Then since im getting new cats im going to go ahead and just by a whole new exhaust. Wich i wasn't planning to do for a while but has now been moved up. Then if its still running crappy I will a-tap it. But like I said i doubt its timing or compression cuz my car runs good. I never have any problems starting it or anything. Aside from the rough idle sometimes but that is because of the cam.

Re: 250 max hp Dyno Run You also might want to take the car to Irwindale on a thursday night if you are near it and see how it does in the 1/8th mile. That will clear up any question on the power problem.

02BQIK, I wasnt saying the muffler was a problem as it wouldn't be, I was just trying to let him know that he had an extra part that he didnt know about before.
Re: 250 max hp Dyno Run i dynoed my car after i put headers/duals on
only other mods are lid, filter, free mods, !EGR, !AIR, !rearO2's
A/F started at 11.3 around 3k, and went up to 11.8 at 6k rpm
dynoed around 270hp on a DynoMite
it dynoed really low because it was running rich after taking all the emissions off
but that will be fixed when i get it tuned after a H/C install

Re: 250 max hp Dyno Run The car would have to feel like a turd if it actually dyno'd those numbers. I'd lean more towards a possible tuning issue rather than bad plugs. The cats would have to be really screwed and should set an SES to cost that much power. You didnt install that cam incorrectly did you with the adjustable Rollmaster did you? I saw this about 6 mo. back that a car made peak hp at 4000 rpm and it turned out the cam was a tooth off.

Re: 250 max hp Dyno Run
3 things...in this order.
1. ATAP
2. Go to another dyno (get A/F ratio)
3. Get to the track
Go to the track last so you don't embarrass yourself by running 15's.

Re: 250 max hp Dyno Run I did not see it mentioned but what type of dyno do they use. If its a dynojet then it might be slightly low, 99 A4s with no mods averaged about 270 rwhp. If it was a mustang inertia dyno they are more accurate and will read a lot lower and would be probably about right. You would hate to see the hp values for a stock car at altitude.

Re: 250 max hp Dyno Run
Also maybe try taking the Predator tuning out. I have seen that cause problems on some other cars, but work great on others.
