Dyno Challenge results?
My buddy won the power adder class with his 70 Nova at 1282hp. Not sure of any other results. I made a whopping 617 on the same tune I usually make 700ish on. Anybody else think their dyno is stingy??
Seriously? We were watching a dew of the dyno runs and thought figured it was way generous... There was a mid 90's green ls pickup and it sounded stock as a rock and they said it put down like 370 or something... that along with many others made us think it was high.
I don't know for sure obviously, but it sure seemed that way to us.

I made over 500 before while tuning on my car. It put down 469. Duke's TA put down 517 and I think it made 540 or so before. We had 2nd and 3rd place in the N/A class but they didn't give it to us because we weren't actual participants in the event. IDK why they let us on there if that was the rules. We thought anyone and everyone could get in on it. The guys running the Dyno seemed like a good group though. It would have to get old strapping and unstrapping cars all day. Especially lowered Corvettes. lol

Nothing to do with the dyno, but you sir suprised the hell out of everyone near us in the stands. I even thought your truck was part of the tracks crew

A big thanks to all of you guys who came out and participated in the Dyno Challenge.
I think we ended up with over 85 participants by the end of the day yesterday. I saw a lot of nice cars over there this past weekend.

Thanks I appreciate it. It's just an old daily driver car lol. It's not a big deal, just would've been nice to know. Glad you got to pick up the 3rd place. I wish I would have raced but I'm worried about breaking my rear end. Is yours still stock, or what's been done to it?
Lol, I am having a blast with the 'ol truck running in the 10's and looking like crap. My dad bought this truck new and I ended up with it when he died. We worked out of it for years and it still gets used to haul and tow. Part of me wants to restore it and put a nice paint job on it and part of me knows that I would lose the "cool factor" if I do.

I have been in contact with Holley regarding the dyno challenge winners for the forced induction class because the ones that were announced at the fest were incorrect. The Nova most certainly took 1st place but from what I can see second should have gone to a nearly 1000hp corvette and third to the 845hp corvette we drove down there. The winners that were announced at the fest that night for second and third place were both in the 700's. I have asked Holley to correct this error, hopefully they do! As far as the n/a class goes, I have no idea, I did not pay much attention to it. The dyno is stingy though. The car we brought down is usually ran on one of the new loaded dyno jet units and they are notorious heartbreakers. This thing read 60hp low from that one.
