I am going to the dyno next weekend. I have spent quite a few dollars on bolt on's and I am a bit nervous about what the results might be. Does anybody know about what I should put down with my current mods?

Thanks!

03Sleeper, did you get dyno'd yet?

shanetastic, I guess 260rwhp. You have almost the same mods as me (I'm ordering 75mm tb) so I'm definately curious what you pull

I say don't buy bolt-ons. Put the money toward a blower. I am learning this the hard way.

Dyno Results are in...

I am a bit dissapointed at the results, but hey, the car does have 100,000 miles on it. The graph was off by 100 on the printout for some reason, but the max power and max torque numbers are correct. I noticed that the Air/Fuel is quite lean....

I'm surprised that it didn't hit 250 mark.. that's a lot of dough you put into the car. Any more plans for it?

It kinda pisses me off that all the mods we put on our cars, dont hardly do jack 'Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me' but take our money. Its kind of a bunch of crap. You dont have as much trouble as the 96-98 guys either.

The o/r X pipe + magna cat-back should set you around 240-250 range already. Then you have tb/plenum + pullies which should put you up around 245-255 range.. maybe it's the chip?

I have never been to the dyno and didn't know how lean it was running. I asked the people who were operating the dyno about it and they said that running the air/fuel richer would probably increase torque but probably decrease horsepower. Running lean creates more heat and is not as safe as a richer mixture. Torque requires more fuel. Leaner is "meaner" in relation to horsepower. BUT...I wonder if you get too lean if HP actually decreases?

I noticed that smoothing on the plot was set for 5... that can make the peak numbers more honest, but with smoothing off and a jagged plot, you could easily have a peak reading that's 3-5hp higher.
