I had a post on a few weeks back about my 92 coupe running out of umphf @ 4600 rpms. Thankfully, some of you guys had some really good ideas about what the problem could have been.

I used an engine simulator to compare the actual chassis dyno to a virtual engine dyno and the curves were so similar it was scary! I entered everything from IVO to EVC cam specs and intake flow... etc.

The difference in the two virtual charts are from Windsor Jr.s to Victor Jr. heads only. I wanted to post the charts to see what you guys think....

First chart.... ACTUAL CHASSIS DYNO




Next chart..... VIRTUAL ENGINE DYNO on exact setup as chassis




Final Chart..... VIRTUAL ENGINE DYNO w/ head swap




Thanks guys

What heads? What valve springs? You could be floating out you valves above 4600 if your spings aren't a high enough seat pressure with a cam that agressive.

heads with matched valve springs could easily net you 50 hp
