yea i just got mine dyno tuned...6spds dyno numbers are better than autos and if you have a stall it wont be very good at all but it will run better at the track than most 6spds

mine was 316HP to the wheels and he said if it was a standard it would be like 360

so what you mean by that is that you really have about 360HP but it says you have 316 right?

If you dyno 316 that's what you're making. It's not hiding horsepower. SAE correction might change it, but you can't dyno a number and pretend it's higher cause you have a stall.

It doesn't work that way.

A stall will only make you dyno like 10whp less at that level. Nothing crazy. If you want higher dyno's then lock the converter or buy a manual.

A dyno tune is good FOR ALL CARS, regardless of tranny.

Ya, what you need to do is go to the store and buy Irish Spring bar soap and cake the rear tires. This will allow you to run an auto on a dyno. If a store is not close, the other way is to drop the tranny, remove the converter, put it back together, and push it on to the dyno.

Works great every time!

Na man..that stuff's to clean up your Muffler Bearings to help install them properly. You then set the pre-load with some good ole Elbow Grease and torque down the Retaining Plate the same spec as the Cap for the Head Light Fluid Resivior.

Then you adjust the Flux Capacitor and go on your way.

Quite a bit more then 10rwhp difference. Even bone stock an auto will dyno around 20 less then an M6.

No way will the m6 (we are talking camaros) is going to dyno nearly 50 more hp than a stock stalled auto, apples to apples. At these levels.

Yes you can dyno tune an auto.

I was quite surprised myself, but don't know enough to disbelieve it....although he does have a 3000 stall, not stock.
