Default Re: Finally a proper dyno...

How where we able to get full throttle out of the engine on the dyno? Well, we lifted one front wheel slightly off the ground, enough for someone to spin the wheel freely. Once someone can spin the wheel over 10 mph, and once the rear wheels start to spin, all limiters seem to shut down. The result? 168.19 rwhp at what seems to be (I am reading off the graph to the best of my abilities) 5,230 rpm, and 178.29 rw ft-lbs of torque at well, between 3,250 - 4,500 rpm. The torque band is very flat, but it varies slightly between that range of rpm values. When I was driving the vehicle on the dyno, I went well over 6,100 rpm, and I let off at 6,300. I was very surprised, but I let off at 6,300 because I was just getting worried. It seemed like the engine could of gone further if I wanted to though. The graph seemed to have stopped at 6,300 rpm's as well.
I am assuming this is a 6 speed car? Sounds like a decent number, only 17% loss in drivetrain, I still think the Autostick tranny is loosing more than 15% power, as X'ed mentioned in another thread. I think it's more like 20% in the Automatic!!! So the SRT is probably putting down 256 HP.

I think the Shcricks racing cams might get you into 190 HP maybe a tad more. Remove the Cats and cat back, replace the restricted intake near the MAF you could possibly reach 210 hp, do a little chip tuning and you might make 215 hp but I'm just guessing.

What where your numbers on Torque?
And what gear where you in while doing the dyno?
