Nice! She's gonna scream up top. How high do you plan to rev?

That is a nice, flat torque curve. Well done!

7100-7300 really just whenever it seems like we aren't making anymore power!

I'll be pleasantly surprised if it revs that high. The graph doesn't look like it's climbing much by the end of the pull similar to the comparison pull flattening out.

Well I figure it'll make peak power around 6500ish-6700 and as long as it carries good until 7k ish that's where it'll be set. The old setup was completely different so I'm not going off that too much pretty everything has been changed and upgraded since that motor, intake swap completely different exhaust/ header upgrade along with cam and obviously the rotating assembly. That motor was hurt before we got it only the dyno also soon as that first pull was made we drastically seen power declines on the next pull and started having idling issues.

Sounds good. What I noticed is how your tq curve may still be climbing, or just flattening, at 5700rpm. Paving the way for some good power.

Awesome! 7k shift point should be just right.

I made the mistake of choosing a cam myself once. I called Martin, told him what I wanted, & could not ask for more.

Looks good. I'm happy to see it spinning that high. Would look better if it had SAE instead of STD correction. That's bumping the numbers up about 4%. STD corrects to something like 60*, higher barometric pressure and other more favorable conditions than SAE. Most people get the lower SAE correction and would report about 475/415 with the same setup

He always uses the STD correction, but yeah the dyno jet raises them by 2.6% so yeahs it's about 483rwhp SAE, either way I'm fine with it! Just happy with the graph and ready to get some track trips in than get the nitrous hooked up!

The dyno, just like a flow bench, is nothing more than a tuning tool. It's just a number. The track is what counts.

Your graph looks good. Climbs nice and smooth right up to where you said you wanted it. With a curve like that, I would imagine it's still relatively drivable, despite the gigantic cam.

I know with a M6 ET isn't as indicative for power. Trap speeds corrected for DA on similar runs seemed very accurate.
