I'm going to drive up there and put her on the dyno today. I have to find my shift points for the next trip to the track. I should be there around 9:00AM if anyone wants to keep me company. :)

Well They don't call the Dyno the Heart breaker machine for nothing!! The Bad news is that the #'s weren't real good. The good news is that there is plenty of power still on the table in this car. Sorry to embarrass all of the termi guys with my 325hp / 332tq rocket.

O.K. seriously This car dynoed 401/418 with the manual tranny and I was looking for around 360Hp & 390tq, so yes I was surprised at how low the #'s are. However I do believe that the Dyno Shop in Santee has the most accurate and consistant Dyno in the San Diego area.

More Good news is that My peak tq was @ 4600rpm which means that shifting at 5900rpm was a huge waste of time at the track on the 25th! Also I found out that the Dyno Shop does in fact tune SCT which means that I will not have to travel to L.A. for a tune.

They also found that my car was starting to miss at 5600-5700 rpm. Could be that I have to up the rev limiter. This car needs a tune!! I think that I'm going to swap the cam and get a tune.

i agree, other cars made more hp but are probably slower at the track.

but another custom cam for bobbys new changes to the car, good re-tune and transbrake. should get him what he wants.
