Re: Hey Nick...Got Dyno? Reply #18 – June 06, 2005, 11:11:42 PM omg please don't tell me its under 375? I was thinking the h/c/i combo was worth about 290-300 rwhp and another 100 for the blower.. Quote Selected

Re: Hey Nick...Got Dyno? Reply #20 – June 07, 2005, 12:49:37 AM Zing! Ouch, that low torque number HURTS! Still about 2x what my car can do, so I can't say anything bad. Quote Selected
Re: Hey Nick...Got Dyno? Reply #21 – June 07, 2005, 01:03:30 AM Nice numbers Eric, gonna put mine on the the dyno soon also will post ASAP afterward. Quote Selected
Re: Hey Nick...Got Dyno? Reply #22 – June 07, 2005, 04:08:26 AM Man, Mike's right, something aint right there.With all the work done to the car it only put down that low of horsepower?!? If something aint wrong, I am giving up on my cougar right now. LOL J/K, still impressive numbers though. Quote Selected
Re: Hey Nick...Got Dyno? Reply #23 – June 07, 2005, 07:49:35 AM Wow, I was pretty close. I am surprised the torque # was not higher though......My guess is the upper intake is holdin him back in that respect. How much boost is he runnin? Quote Selected
Re: Hey Nick...Got Dyno? Reply #24 – June 07, 2005, 08:32:47 AM Dyno runs and dyno tunes can get expensive. I think he needs to take it to the track on a test and tune day. We all know how fast these cars run with similar h/c/i setups Quote Selected
Re: Hey Nick...Got Dyno? Reply #25 – June 07, 2005, 09:43:02 AM he's running 6psi if i remember correctlywhats holding him back is the tune, he only has a FMU, but it did keep the a/f ratio nice and flatif he had it dyno tuned, and had a custom chip burned, for the timing tables, and the other parameters, he should be able to put down at least 380 at the wheelsbut it took how long to get it on a dyno...you think he'd put it on a dyno a few more times!?

Re: Hey Nick...Got Dyno? Reply #26 – June 07, 2005, 09:48:01 AM Quote from: fastbird86Nice numbers Eric, gonna put mine on the the dyno soon also will post ASAP afterward.Those are Nick's, not mine. We had to bribe him (read: pay him) to put his car on the dyno at Carlisle. Surprisingly he didn't hesitate, argue or produce an excuse at all. I'm still in a state of shock!The numbers are great for a n/a motor. However, with a Powerdyne sitting under tha hoodie, obviously there's something not right. If you notice in the dyno graphic, the torque curve begins to drop off before 6K, but the horsepower does not--it's still climbing even at 6K. He has some ideas about what's wrong and he'll be tinkering in no time. He was grateful after it was over because he now had a baseline from which to work. Lots of questions remain though...- Would the old intake setup have done better?- What's the restriction now?- Could I make tea out of the gallons of water gushing from Nick's tailpipes?- Why is it when you drop the garden hose, it always lands on the handle and squirts you in the face? ;)BTW, my dyno numbers are from 1999: 232 rwhp, 271 lb/ft torque. That was with 275 miles on the motor, immediately after dropping it in the car. With all the minor mods since then it will probably do 250-260 hp, with torque flirting with 300 lb/ft. If I'd had it at Carlisle I would have dynoed it again. Quote Selected
