Default Finally hit the dyno.......!

Ok, I'm really happy about this! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

We went up to Carlisle where I always put her up on the rollers. Same dyno, same guy, conditions were very close to last year...so..

She pulled 345HP/351TQ <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Here is the car...

98 M6
Stock ported MAF, Whisper, Throttle Body bump stop, TB Bybass, Borla, Carsound Cats, TTS Headers, ASP Pully, Stock gears.

How's that?? <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Damn! Those are some nice numbers. How much did you pay for the dyno?

No LS6 intake yet.....
Oh great, something else to float around in my head. What would that do for me?

Ha!! Sorry about your ears Brian, but it was so cool!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

How far can a bolt on car go?

I have got to get to the track. Poor, poor 10 bolt!

Beth let me get this right... Those are rwhp #'s or Flywheel #'s? You have the exception if those are rwhp #'s and you do not have a ls6 intake. I have a 2001 and I have heard of no one with a 98 dyno'ing over 305rwhp w/out a ls6 intake.. Did you purchase this car new in 98? I am wondering if someone had already put a ls6 intake on for you b4 you purchased the car..

Vince, I am the only owner of this car. I was not interested in an LS6 intake because of seeing possibly only a little more than 5 or so HP gain, so I decided to keep my $400. If I am wrong, please correct me! I would love to see what it would do!

Those are rear wheel numbers on a chassis dyno.

I always use the same guy to dyno my car, and he freaks out about the numbers too. He says it is possessed by the devil. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> It has always appeared that it is a factory freak. I only wish they were doing A/F ratios.... Maybe next time.

There were a lot of guys there, and they got a kick out of it. I was way too excited. LOL <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

Excellent numbers Beth. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Next time I see you at MIR you better be racing that thing. Don't worry about the rear Strange and Moser have plenty of them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> Congrats.

Did you ever dyno it stock? Most 98's I've read about pull in the 290's to low 300's stock. It seems higher than normal for your mods unless your baseline was stout to begin with.

Regardless, it looks like those exhaust components really work well together! Congrats!

Hey Bruce! I will get her on the track real soon!

I did have a dyno at Kenny Browns when I had the lid and the Borla. At the time I had the smallest plate in the Borla and she pulled 300.1HP/310.3TQ. It was a dyno jet, and I guess that can be a good comparison.

Congradulations Beth, nice numbers for the dyno pull, I hope to be close to that when I get LT's installed.

LT's should be worth 15 to 25 rwhp more. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
