Thought I would post this..

I dyno tuned this for a local guy today. He had a $500 mail order chip that did 270rwhp/320rwtq..

After 6 pulls we got this..

BTW.. It was a moderate camshaft (sounded about like a 220-230 and I never got the cam specs.), stock heads, stock TPI intake, stock injectors, higher compression bottom end. It still was a 350 and was a auto with a vette convertor.

Holy crap look at that torque Those are awesome #s for stock TPI and heads. Who was the $500 chip from?

MdFormula350

awesome, killer torque.

yep tpi's are really good at making torque. here's mine when i had the zz4 cam in it.

holy crap..i wanna see the car that made that much torque!!! 540 ft/lbs of torque!! that is nuts, more than a viper!! also, why did somebody pay 500 bucks for a chip?

here's my webpage on the 86TA http://www.fl-thirdgen.org/mrr23 by the way that 540 tq was on 150 n2o. pulled 1.76 60ft on the bottle out of the hole. ran 12.13 @ 112

People spend way too much on chips all the time. I think he walked out the doors spending $300 altogether from us.. A dyno tuned prom + 1 hour dyno time.

The horrible thing was that the first motor blew up with that chip. I'm convinced his first chip was at fault because the car detonated like crazy and ran super lean.

mrr23.. I went on your website and looked at the dyno graphs.. You should get that thing dyno tuned.. you'll make quite a bit more power. Even on spray you should run no where near that rich..

mrr23

that car is long gone. hell i built a 383 for it. i now have a 99 and 00 formula that i play with. both are in my sig.

It looks like he would have had a higher torque number if the run was started at a lower RPM. The torque value starts high and drops right away.

Here's my dyno. Now that is torque!

This car was an auto.. on alot of them you have to roll into the gas and late to prevent the car from downshifting.

I probally wasn't in the gas 100% until about 4000rpm.

Good job with your car, looks good.. You guys need to go from a long runner intake to a LT1 style to move that hp up, you'd loose a little torque but the whole power band will be alot broader

It would be nice to live near places that had such services as you all talk about.

I'm actually doing a Kansas City dyno day in May.
