i just bought my motor last year right out the crate. idk if that makes a differnece (20,000 miles) . but my mods r in my sig. i am UNTUNED and the 100 shot will be here tomorrow. as of today i made 241hp and 280tq to the wheels....i am very disappointed, thought i would get more.....does this seem right? and what should i do nex beside getting a tune and hooking up my 100 shot.

Seems a little low but I wouldnt trust dynos too much. You need to see what it traps in the 1/4. Thats the realistic approach.

kk it was a land sea dyno if that makes a differnece, i heard dynojet rate 10-11% higher so that would read me at about 275hp and like 310tq idk thats what i was told...

What trans do you have? If you have an auto that still seems a bit low. But if you have an M6 yes it's definately low. Some dyno's aren't exactly accurate. I had a heads and cam Lt1 that only put down like 310rwhp. Then sold them to a guy on cz28.com. He puts down like 450 Rwhp with similer mods and a much bigger cam. Basically I'm saying some dynoes read very low while others read very high. Track times are all that really matter though right?

auto or manual?

dante1313

sounds about right then. who cares about dyno #s. track #s are all that matter

nik1703

dude, that sounds like stock numbers, either something is wrong with your car or the dyno.

you should be in the low 300's with those mods.

dante1313

thats what i thought...can it be because im not tuned?

I would say get the car tuned! You could free up alot of power right there. Also most of the dyno number I see on these forums sound like a bunch of BS for what they have done. I have about the same set up I will check my dyno sheets and post the numbers both N/a and with a 150 shot.

Run it on a dynojet or superflow. My .02

That's right on a the money for an A4. Actually maybe a bit HIGH with a Flowmaster (heh I'm serious, dyno proven power suckers on our cars, well at least the Flowmaster 80 series that are MADE for F-Bodies)

I made 280/317 stock tune with a catback, your numbers dont sound good but not impossible

Yours was a freak and catback helps. Not to mention M6 which is an automatic +15-20hp.

Hmmm,
i feel the mods listed w/ an A4 are about right. i am SURE OP is getting knock retard and without a tune those numbers are definately believable
dynos are for tunning and often masterbating ones ego! if your air/fuel is good, no knock retard pull the straps off and hit the staging lanes......

yea i wanna see thx!

low 300s is more like a full bolt-on M6. he's an auto with just exhaust.

to the OP: you said you got this as a crate motor? i'm not sure if i'm correct here, but maybe you got an earlier year crate motor rather than the '96/'97.

I know there are a lot of variances with dynos, but I still don't that it's enough to account for your LOW #'s. With headers and a CAI, no N2O and no tune, you should be seeing at least 275rwhp. Even with an A4. Now add N2O and the number should be higher still...

ss.slp.ls1

iTrader: (36)

You mean like a '93-'95 LT1? What does that have to do with anything?
And a CAI, headers, exhaust is almost all of the bolt-ons, short of 1.6 rr's and maybe a 52mm TB. I'd say the rr's and TB would probably account for 15-20 rwhp. Which should leave him at around 275rwhp like I stated earlier.

Because the earlier LT1s were rated at 265hp with the iron heads and 275 with alum heads. hmmm, does the OP have a KM? maybe with the loud exhaust it's retarding timing.
