Baseline Dyno results

Got my car dyno'd this afternoon and here are the results.

First pull:
288.0 rwhp & 325.7 rwtq AFR 11.9 @ 5600rpm

Second pull:
289.5 rwhp & 323.2 rwtq AFR 11.8 @ 5600rpm

I was aiming for 300 rwhp but didn't obtain it.
I think the car is running a little rich at the top end. I don't have a tune as of yet since I'm doing heads/cam next week.

Re: Baseline Dyno results

Those #'s do seem somewhat low. But with your limited mods it isn't bad at all. Figure around 240-250hp stock at best through the M6. 5-10hp average for each the CAI and Catback,20-30hp at most for LT's and that's about it. Your right in the ballpark. Did you run through the catback or with the cutout open? I figure you'd see a little better #'s with it open, atleast in the 290's. Very nice tq #'s though, what did the curve look like?

Numbers seem right on. See my numbers in sig.(I'm also running rich up top, a/f = 12.0)

We are also running nearly identical 1/4 mile times, so both of our numbers line up.

Re: Baseline Dyno results

I ran with the cutout open. The car was running a little warm, at around 100deg celcius or 212 F. I may pick a few hp up or not.

The graph looks really good, flat torque curve all the way to 4500. The hp is smooth up to 5300 and then starts to drop off. If I had a place to post my graph you could see it.

Looks good. If you were to get it leaned out a bit you would surely hit 300rwhp. Keep us updated on the new setup... and maybe some hints as to the custom cam specs.

Yep! You would have been at 300 or just a little over with a tune.

Re: Baseline Dyno results

Madwolf, I will probably come to you for a tune after my heads/cam is finished.
