Here is the evidence of my dyno run done way back when. The car is a 6-speed naturally aspirated stock engine. The car had about 36,500 miles on it.


And here is the video:

Thank you very much... These dynos may help reclassing the car for the 2007 season and make it more competitive... I'll keep you posted...

 

No problem HDDP. Of course it would be great to have the Crossfire be more competitive. How did you like our technique to dyno the car by spinning that single front wheel?

 

i'm glad to see the dyno, but its pretty embarrassing. i was hoping for at least 180 whp stock.

 

hahaha, that's like the funniest video i've ever seen. they guy was spinning that tire like his life depended on it. spinning tires to dyno ftmfw.

 

We all laugh but spinning the front tire to over 10 mph is the only way to deactivate all, and I mean ALL of the rev limiters in the car. The engine went up to about 6,300 rpm and it wasn't stopping, but I decided instead of seeing where the engine cut-out, I just let go of the gas. The car "supposedly" has a fuel cut-off at 6,100 rpm, and it easily went past that, so why risk it?

 

wow! you guys are dangerous!

 

Wow, is it just me or is the power band unusually flat?

 

The torque curve is pretty flat... A good thing... It means the engine reaches max torque quickly and maintains it through the rev range...

 

It's also why the Crossfire performs better in the real world than it appears to on paper - there's no point having 300 HP if it is only available between 6,500 and 7,000 rpm!

 

CORRECT!!! The torque curve is what I love about the Crossfire and it is what I think makes the car fun to drive.

 

That's crazy stuff, but if it works then by all means I will do it during my next dyno run...

 

Of course we tried to make the run as safe as possible by strapping the car down very tightly and by using a cross-brace strap in the rear for extra reinforcement.
