Took the 96 to the dyno today...

Wish I had some air out here for my pig to breathe. I'd do jumping jacks and back flips if I could put 185 down out here in Denver @ a mile high. Very nice though.

 

[SuperHO]

that torque curve is as flat as a 9 year old boy! Gawd, i love these engines.

 

[Izzmo]

Has anyone been able to get the actual 210 horses these engines advertised? (stock preferably)

 

[warmonger]

if you do the math figuring 20% dtl for the slushbox he would have more than the advertised ckhp

 

[Izzmo]

Why 25%? Is that just pretty standard?

 

[frosho]

25% sounds wicked high.

 

[warmonger]

yeah..my bad..meant 20%..lol even still the numbers work out

 

[SHODWN]

Thats the converter coming unlocked as you closed the throttle.. you didnt get those numbers.. follow the lines untill it gets to the spikes that will be your high numbers.

I got 207 hp once.

Actually 208.5 HP after digging out the chart.

 

[SHODWN]

I think i was 217na but would take an act mf god to find the dyno sheet..

 

[32MTX]

it would be badass to see a atx to mtx conversion on a v8 back to back on the dyno, same car, same motor, just different trans on the same dyno.

 

[Izzmo]

Does one think that just by replacing the trans is going to make such a big improvement in peak horsepower/torque? I'm not really sure why it would considering the engine is creating the power, and the engine is not changing.

 

[32MTX]

be interesting to note drivetrain loss differences....

nothing more really

don't think anyone has done a before and after V6 atx to mtx swap either

 

[sandrew]

Yeah, a manual generally has less parasitic drivetrain loss than an automatic.

 

[SHOZ123]

The manual IMHO does not offer that much more efficiency than a well tuned ATX but does have much better gear ratios.

LOL

I was thinking the same thing from where mine had gone from more than a decade ago.
