Dyno numbers you won't believe!!
Dyno numbers you won't believe!! At the F-body gathering, I dynoed at the same place I did last year. Last year my numbers were 327/342 with a slp lid and slp y-pipe. NOW this year with my cam, headers, and underdrive pulley and NO TUNING at all, I pulled 390/371 at the wheels. I pulled 6 runs all together between Friday and Sunday. They were (hp in order) 386, 384, 384, 385, 382, and with no filter 390. Now one thing I do have to mention, these numbers are about 5 hp to high except for the 382. When I hit the rev limiter at 6250 it spiked about 5 hp's. The 382, I let off right before the rev limiter and got 382. Now this was right after the first run and the car was much warmer. So 882-385 is about right where I am on the numbers. I auto tapped the first 3 runs and received no knock on the first pull, and about .5 on the other two.
One thing that is weird, my tourque curve decreases slightly at about 3200 and stays pretty flat all the way till 5000 at this point it decreases. Its not the nice rainbow that I should have.
At the rev limiter, the hp is still increasing telling me with some very good tuning and getting that rev limiter bumped up, I still have more to put down. I think this car with a ported throttle body is capable of over 400 at the wheels. Can't speculate yet, still have to tune it. I am going to take it to Fbodymotorsports in Charlotte. She seems to think she can get 20 more hp's
. Well just have to wait and see.
Tommorrow, I will get the disk out of my car and if someone can host it for me, I will be able to show you the two dyno sheets I got with the runs.
Mods are in the sig.
I told you guys you wouldn't believe me

Re: Dyno numbers you won't believe!! Vince, who was it and what does he drive???
The cam idles very well. You really can't tell I have a cam. Even with no tuning. Now the sewing machine noise, you can't mistake!!

Re: Dyno numbers you won't believe!! What's so hard to believe about those numbers? Lots of M6s pull over 382 rwhp on stock heads, and even some A4s nowadays. Sounds like its running pretty strong

Re: Dyno numbers you won't believe!! Its just I have not had anything done to the computer. I was expecting 370's with the hope of 380's. I got my wish.
Will just have to see what tuning will give it.

Re: Dyno numbers you won't believe!! Track times will have to wait to Bowling Green show. But track times have just as much to do with the driver as it does with hp.
Re: Dyno numbers you won't believe!! My first pass with the 224/224 112 cam with all bolt ons was 393 so I would say you are right on par. I only gained 9hp and 13tq with tunning. I did gain a lot of tq down low though. Now I just need to get to the track for some new times. Good luck.
