on friday i ran my camaro through a local dyno just to see what it did. its a bitter sweet story.
i did not tune it. (im going to have dean look at it.) i just want to get a base line and check my fuel curve to make sure it was safe. (eds wrights fuel curve was very good. it s almost a straight line across. it even ran richer at higher rpms, not bad out of the box.)
here is the breakdown,
with 6-7pds of boost and a very restrictive 1 5/8 street exhaust system along with a cat,pumped gas, an an air temp of 83 degrees it made 460 rwh and 463pds of torque consistanly within 1 to 2 horsepower over 4 runs. we let it cool down about 10 minutes between each run..
at first i was not to happy but then i realized that the motor really needs to breath better for a blower car and the boost was level was very low.
lets just say!!!!!!
today i ordered hooker long tube headers and im getting my friend to coat them for me. im also going to make a custom h pipe with no cats for it and im having ASP custom make me a 17pd blower pulley so i should see 14 pds of boost after the inner cooler and 383 take a few pds.. procharger stops making them at 15pds.(2.55)
im looking to break into the 600hp range for ned's next dyno day. im praying to pick up 140hp with 6-7 more pds of boost and a much freer exhaust.
even if i get close to those numbers i will be happy considering im using a small blower and a small cam. i know my bottom end can handle it easily.
thanks for listening dennis
