Default First Nitrous Dyno Numbers!

I got the car dynoed yesterday while at Corvettes @ Carlisle.

These numbers are SAE with the converter unlocked, spraying a 75 shot to 6000 rpm. I'll likely increase my upper rpm limit to 6200 rpm, so I should see slightly bigger numbers next time, but these initial ones aren't too bad.

441 rwhp @ 6000 rpm 418 rwtq @ 5100 rpm

Thanks!

Next time, if I spray right up to 6200 rpm where my motor peaks, I should do better.

I think I'd better wait for that forged 382 short block before I do that!

I see you have a track time next to numbers in sig. Have you run it allready? Nice increase in power, 100 now and 150 next week.

Here's my 100shot NX MAF kit after retarding timing to 26.5 and using a different dyno today. For some reason the first chart did not register above 5500rpm on base run (blue lines).

Base run: 374hp/351tq

100 shot nitrous run: 455hp/460tq

Window switch set betwwen 3000-6000rpm.

No. That's my best time to date, NA of course.

If the weather holds, I'm planning on going to Numidia Raceway this Friday night.

Trooper you should be making more torque (locked or unlocked). I'm thinking you need to try a different dyno.

My car has always recorded lower torque numbers and they have always trailed the horsepower. This is actually the closest my torque numbers have come to matching my hp numbers.
