Here are my results. I have a 3.2 block w/25k mile 3.0 heads and a crank UDP. The engine is 60k'd completely and rod bearings are done. Dynomax exhaust w/stock y-pipe.

My 2 pulls. I was pretty impressed for not having done anymore than I have to the engine.

Jayro's pull compared to mine. He has me beat on the hp, I have him beat on the torque. His is in blue, mine is in red.

Getting ready here in the next couple of weeks to get a magnaflo y-pipe and 2 1/2 inch exhaust w/Thrush welded and the magnaflo 5" round 18" long resonator (cannon). That will open me up a little bit more.

Discuss....

That is a fantastic curve, and I might add that even though he might have you beat on peak HP, you have him beat on area under the curve. By quite a bit, actually.

Yeah, He definatly has me beat in the torque area...dang 3.2's. You can definatly tell that Boats is a strong running SHO.....probably attriduted to all the maintinance being up to date.

Great Numbers. I'm really curious to see what Ashley's car makes.

3.2 MTX
3.2 Heads/Cams.
Stock Intake
SS Equal Y
Borla Catback
UDP's.

Her car feels like it has quite a bit of TQ. I'd to see where its making all of its power.

I'd like to think it a Solid 205-210 FWHP car, But who knows!

I'd be interested in seeing those numbers, too. Mine use to be 3.2 w/3.2 heads.

I wanna get mine and Nicks up there too.... that should look really cool if they can superimpose those pics like that. Being Nick's is a pretty stock 3.0.. but yea that curve looks smooth..

And I remember when you were a SHO noob.. lol looks like you paid attention well grasshoppa... now time for exhaust and MOOOOOOOOORE tune... :) That curve would change again with a nice tune. About that Tweecer R/T time.. :)

First let me say the top end looks strong, but the bottom end seems odd. usually you should have a tq peak in the 2800 rpm range almost equal to the 4800 rpm tq peak, but yours is not doing that. Sure the secondaries are not stuck open? Bottom end looks a tad lean, might be able to increase the tq in the bottom range with more fuel.

Also, I would reconmend dyno again with the new exhaust mods and look for changes...

I know that I lost some bottom end torque when I changed out the heads from 3.2 to 3.0, so maybe that would explain the bottom end and why it looks a little lean. I was thinking/planning on after the exhaust mods were done, to dyno it again, and see what I have then. ;)

Good flat torque curve for sure!
A nice y pipe with a good collector will net you a few more hp.

Yeah, its kinda low....still working on the tune....I think the ecu might have been pulling some timing. With my previous tune I hit 217 whp and about 5 more ftlbs of torque. It could be the heat too, it was about 90....and mine is a 3.0. I gained about 15-18whp with the triflows. Dyno's 203whp without the triflows. Also added a wavetrac so there is some more drivetrain loss. Either way boat has a strong sho.

Okay that clears up alot. Scott has Somedude's old triflows in his atx, so we were kinda scared to see that low number.
