Got the turd dyno'd today. Happy with the results.

[Sonic04GT]

Took the turd down to Thunder Autosports in Boynton Beach, FL today for a quick dyno tune. First time ever putting it on the dyno and I'm happy with the results. I had my fingers crossed for 260 and it did 270/306. Now I need to get to the track.

time for some cams!

Yeah no kidding. That's my next goal but I've been spending too much time looking at the Kenne Bell kits haha

What mods do you have Sonic? All I see is a CAI, plenum, and magnaflow exhaust

How could you tell I had Magnaflow? The ginormous exhaust tips? Hahaha

exhaust tips gave it away

Those are impressive numbers for a bolt-on GT!!! Do you know what the SAE RWHP result was? SAE numbers are typically 1-5% lower than STD numbers. Not trying to take anything away from your results, I am just curious. If you are north of 260 SAE RWHP with those mods, that means you gained over 40 RWHP with your mods which is very impressive, especially given the fact that the word on the street is LT headers for a stock head and stock cammed PI 2V isn't worth much.

Seems about right for a dynojet. Grats!

I had the same mods on my car and made the same HP, if you can drive you should hit low 13s with it.

Haha I figured. I'm not sure man. He made a couple runs but both were about 270, didn't look for the SAE adjustment.

Car is throwing code 0405 though, EGR sensor A circuit low. He just ended up shutting it off altogether. Could it have anything to do with all the damn Marvel Mystery Oil that was sucked in through the vacuum to look for an exhaust leak? I bet you what didn't burn off is just caking my sensors. I already had an O2 sensor slow response, cleared that and it never came back.

Nice man, I'm hoping for 13.5. Maybe I'll be surprised again. The car spins like ***** into second on the street, we'll see what happens on the track.

 

[sneaky98gt]

Just thought of it. Had a new guy go down to the track with NC State's drag strip club this past weekend with an 04 GT with almost the exact mods as you. Only difference is that he didn't have long tubes.

He ran a 14.1 with a 2.4 60'. He was on some little 245 width, $60 Walmart special tires, and it was his first ever trip to the track. So that 13.5 goal shouldn't be hard at all if you have a half-way decent tire and can drive it there.

 

[BurningRubber]

Nice numbers man. I put down just under 260 (259.xx), similar mods minus the longtubes. I bet they help make a bit more power under the curve as well.

Your air fuel ratio is on the rich side for a naturally aspirated car. You could have probably squeezed a few more peak horsepower out by having it leaned out a little close to 13.0. Nothing wrong with how it is, it's safe.

 

[Crzyhrse]

Those numbers seem right on to me. Some cams would put him at about 295RWHP.

 

[nick6690]

Nice numbers! Car sounds sick, I love Magnaflows.

 

[Sonic04GT]

Thanks alot guys. I worry alot when it comes to my car. Not only is it my daily driver that I rely on, but I take VERY good care of all my belongings so if one thing goes wrong I flip out haha This was a good reassurance that she's working like she's supposed to be

How do you guys feel about nitrous? It was mentioned during my debate on what path I should take with the car, with the $5k+ blower kit set aside.

Yeah I'm a real big fan of the Magnaflows Nick. They actually came on the car, and I've been through 2 Magnaflow X's (catted and O/R) before putting the LTs on and going with an H.

This was with an O/R X. I like the deeper sound of the H now.

How do I feel about nitrous...? This guy likes the sauce!

First time you spray it, you'll be hooked and forget about spending big money on the blower.

Thats one purty GT....

 

[Winters98GT]

I bet you might pick up a few HP with stock wheels.

Set those tires down to 18-20psi, and heat them up at the track. I ran 13.1's at 104mph in my gt with 264rwhp.

 

[johnnyt03gt]

good #'s

 

[Night Shifter]

very nice

 

[ninjastang125]

Put a good slick or drag radial on some 15s and run in the 12s! With only 277hp I was running like a 12.5 at 108mph. But thats with a light weight block, and a driver mod
