Dynoed today!!!!

[Guero]

I made 314 RWHP and a disappointing 290 RWTQ!!!! I didnt Tunbe for N20, well we tried but the car was going very lean and couldn't get to richen up! Im gonna see whats up with that but for now Im all motor!

 

[VibrantRedGT]

That's interesting. The stock 302 TQ number is almost 300. Figure with a 306 and mods it would be around 325 or so.

 

[Guero]

not at the wheels though.....but I was expecting at least 330 tq

CUSTOM CAM!!

IMO, don't worry too much on dyno numbers, worry about et's, that's where it really counts.

 

[Grn92LX]

Carb'd with a mismatched cam, numbers look fine to me.

 

[5spd GT]

All through a heavier rotating T-56.

Looks fine to me as well.

What accessories are you not running?

 

[Guero]

Smog, and A/C

 

[Pokageek]

could it be the t-56? Anywho dam! 314rwhp? That is super! That is like 380 HP on an na 5.0. Some of the highest I have heard myself.

What Can I do to fix my torque? I know N20 will take care of it, I made 398 Tq on N20 at 3200 rpms. Which I know is nothing cuz its not even close to its powerband

 

[cbarr300]

cam.

 

[Blackened302]

nice numbers, mang! i agree--might look into getting a custom/better-matched cam.

 

[divit250r]

Maybe I'm missing the boat, but the Torker intake is not the best suited to produce torque on a small block... Other than that, the numbers don't sound bad to me.

Brother, I don't think you have much to fix. The cam is throwing you off like dave and mike said. Post the graph if you don't mind. How lean is lean? What are you running for jets?

With those mods, and a T-56, you could certainly use more gear. Don't know how it would affect how the NOS hits though, you'll have to experiment. Don't worry too much about the torque peak, peaks don't mean squat, its average horse power that makes a car fast.

Sentiments quoted for emphasis.

Having a torque curve that looks like a table top (exaggeration for depictive purposes) from 2000 RPM up is what I always looked for. You want to get pushed back hard in that seat from low RPM. The ability to apply that torque will skyrocket once you hit the smiley gas (I'm one who doesnt care about hp period. I would tune for torque. That's just me).

I also think you really are doing good bud.
