Re: how much power with a powerdyne???

This was my first dyno run ever. I bought the car with most of the mods done. However, it wasn't til this point that I have been able to achieve max power.
I had a header gasket leak.
Recent plug and wire change, old plugs were shot and I was down atleat 40hp.
Also my MAF was on backwards..sshhhh don't tell anyone.
I already burned one wire and had a pulley cut one. I think I finally have them secured. OTVC one day

I really like to see the PD intake mod (pics)(non-PVC), I still have the tube-o-holes
I like the PD, first it came with the car. Second it makes good power. I like the fact there isn't a hole drilled in the pan or some of the excessive noise found with other chargers(I also like the whine).

I understand that not all dynos are super accurate, but I'm happy that it did 400hp...so don't bust my bubble, let me enjoy my high.
I will scan the sheet soon.. looks like peak HP was at 5200 rpm. TQ was over 400TQ from 3200rpm-5200rpm

Actually I just took pic of the dyno sheet, I see I need an outside URL to post???

No one's trying to bust your bubble, but your numbers are very high for what you have. That's better than having things the other way around, so enjoy it. Worst case scenario the dyno reads very high and you're really at ~370 rwhp or something but that's unlikely, I'd say you really just have a bit of a freak, whether it really makes 400+ or not....it's doing something right just to get you in that range. You're probably making at least an honest 395 no matter what, pretty darn good.

Concerning flex tubing deletion; all you have to do is rearrange your existing tubing to eliminate the flex garbage. You will need to buy an extra silicone connector to do this. I can take pics of my setup when I get it back together if you'd like to see how to arrange it.

I'm sure it might be lower after some corrections. When you get everything together, snap a picture for me.
The next test for the car will be at the strip, I think the best my buddy did with a similiar combo was around 12.3X in the 1/4.
However, I 'm not the best with the M6 and I really don't want to break anything (10 bolt).
The this summer I'm taking the car to Germany for 3 years, yes no speed limit

Ohhh that would be soooo fun. Just don't overdo it. Have you ever seen pics from high speed autobahn wrecks? We're talking complete destruction here. Concerning the 10-bolt, I have the same fears. I have a support girdle on mine and a newer torsen posi, along with newer 3.73 GM gears, so far it's holding together but I don't launch on slicks, just Nitto DR's ...I don't race much at all either. For fun street driving I only get on it hard from a roll. To save your 10-bolt at the strip, take the slack out of the drivetrain by clutching it with the brake held once you're staged. Since you can't drag the clutch the whole time you're sitting there (without line lock or e-brake applied anyway, but to do that would be too much to think about for launching) it can't take up all of the slack like an auto but it's better than nothing.....it'll take some up and give part of it back when you depress the clutch again prior to launching, but not all of it will be put back ...make any sense? I think these techniques and the girdle may have helped mine live through this stuff. Regardless though it's usually the ring and pinion that break on the 10-bolt, not a whole lot you can do about it .....a 12-bolt is in my future I'm sure.
