Here's mine to get it started:

H/C make/stage: ARE stage II
Head Specs: 2.08/1.60
Cam Specs: 226/234 554/575 112
Dyno Numbers (and location): 395rwhp/386rwtq @ cartek
Best track time (street/radials/nittos) & location: None yet
Best track time (slicks) & location: No slicks
Major Mods (non std): LT headers w/offroads, ported TB, ported LS6 intake, RAM clutch, full exhaust
Comments: Why the $#@% did I pay all this extra money for a setup that produces less power than a cheaper setup? Big giant valves, big cam, lots of bucks, less power than most other stage I equivalent setups. I would think it was just my setup/car, but Ive seen now 5 others with similar ARE setups and crappy dyno nymbers (all under 400rwhp). I am not a happy camper.

Don't worry about dyno numbers. Some claim numbers like yours with stock heads, manifolds and just a cam. How good does it run ??

I couldnt help but notice that you have an ARE setup and dont have dyno numbers or track times in your sig. Coincidence?

Anyhow, thats why I put the post up-- I want to see both from as many people as possible. So come on people! Lets see what they look like! I want to see low and high results both.

I made 360/360 on a Mustang dyno in December. I'm having it done again at the SuperFest next month on the same DynoJet 248 that I made my stock run on. (316/327) I think it will give me a more accurate comparison.

Remember EZss- dynos really don't mean ****, its the track that will tell you the truth. I have seen cars that on the dyno are great but suck at running the numbers- oh Supras come to mind-except for a few.

H/C make/stage: Comp XE-R 224 purchased from Speed Inc.

Head Specs: stock

Cam Specs: 224/224, .581"/.581", 112 LSA, 2 degrees of advance ground in

Dyno Numbers (and location): 361 RWHP with open cutout and unlocked converter, 379.9 RWHP with open cutout and locked converter; first dynoed at what used to be FASTech in Garland, TX and backed up at Speedworks in Lewisville, TX

Best track time (street/radials/nittos) & location: haven't run it at the track on radials

Best track time (slicks) & location: 11.63 @ 114.06 MPH, 1.588 60'; 3,515# raceweight & 1,102' D.A. run at Texas Motorplex May 18, '02

Major Mods (non std): FLP LT's and ORP, 3.73's, Ed Wright tuning, Yank PT4400 converter, ASP crank pulley, free mods, other little stuff

Comments: I'm MORE than pleased with the performance of this setup! I swapped the cam and converter (from Vig 3200 to Yank PT4400) at the same time, and they work VERY well together. I'm amazed at how well the car runs for a street raceweight with stock heads. More than anything, I was shocked with just how streetable the cam is. It has a nice lope at 825 RPM, and it doesn't surge, stall, etc. with the a/c off. I keep it at 825 so I can hear the cam. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I set it at 900 RPM if I'm going to run the a/c, and everything is great. I'm shooting for 11.40's with stock heads and a raceweight of 3,450+#. I plan to add a set of heads over the winter and chase some 10.90's.

I do have a sheet at home, I would have to look for it though. When I find it I can make a copy and mail it to you if you want. Email me with your address. My home email is SCORPIONRACING@prodigy.net

Don't forget, no dyno is the same. I asked Mike @ Rapid about all the guys posting 400+RWHP with a cam like the 224 cams and such. He said he has installed many of those cams and only gets 350-360RWHP. He said the dyno he uses (dynojet) does tend to be a bit on the low side, but not 50-60RWHP off. Some tuners play the number games. All they have to do is punch a different rear gear ratio(2.73 rather then the real 4.10)and you will get a higher rear-wheel HP. Anything on the net I take with a grain of salt. Don't believe everything you read. I am not saying everyone is lieing but merely I only fully believe HP numbers when I actually see the car go down the track.
