Your torque should be better at lower rpm also.





a bit disappointing if I'm honest. But the dyno don't lie as they say.

There was a dyno day setup at a local shop. So i though I would join in. everything was set up for rear wheel drive or AWD vehicles so my car did not get any fans to blow on the intercooler but honestly the tune is a mile off on this car right now, but I know the tune is safe so I will be attending the convention as the car sits. Nothing fancy I guess. I really expected quite a bit more power.

it is on the street. the converter stalls to about 2900 on engine and about 3400~ on boost. add that to the face the car was rolling on the dyno and I realisticaly started the dyno pull just below 4k.

I raced blackonblack89 at the convention and i think he inched me out a bit on his SC car. Does he have a dyno graph kicking around to compare against?

not yet. He better soon though.


Honestly though, your low numbers were undoubtedly from the wet air filter. I have had the same issue.

between the wet filter and having no fans on the intercooler. Yeah I can tell you that this car does make more than 269whp on the street. I am going to take the car to the 1/4 mile soon to see if it will do low 13's on 6psi. I removed the boost controller so now it is just on the wastegate spring.

i agree alex 269 doesn't seem right from what i felt that one day! why dont you wanna turn it up trans?

I need to rework the charge pipe going to the maf because for some reason it keeps blowing the charge pipe off. On 6psi I will never hurt that trans so part of me says screw it just enjoy it for a while. a 13 sec daily drive is still bunches of fun.

no it is not my DD. I am about to loose my license because of tickets so I only take it out on special occasions. Like to take mattsho1993 for a spin. the car is fun to drive but it could use some TLC to make it a **** of a lot of fun again. The only changes I made to it since the convention are changing the plugs and dropping the boost to 6psi.

send him my way.
