I had my car dyno'd a while back and my torque was amazingly low, my SAE numbers wer 302.2 RWHP and 306.6 RWTQ. Most people I see on here have like the same torque I do but only like 265RWHP or something like that. I will attach my mods. I know I can make the list shorter, I hardly ever post and when i do I don't usually attach it. Oh yeah, no Nitrous on this run

those are SAE corrected, I am not really sure what that means but maybe that makes a difference, do 3.73 gears change the hp to the wheels?? I have those. I have an intake spacer also and I removed the restrictor in the fuel rail.

Your HP #'s seem way too high, those are the kind of numbers pre-03 Cobras would be putting down with your mods.

And no, gears do not add hp/tq.

Ummmm......there is no way a 2V SOHC with only pullies, TB, prochamber w/cb, and CAI get's 302 RWHP and 306 RWTQ. You have to full exhaust, ported heads w/cams, and an awesome tune to even get close to that. What are you not telling us? Cuz those numbers are unbelievable for a 2V with your mods.......

Did they do the pull in 4th gear? Maybe they dyno'd it in 3rd gear.

man, if I had over 300 rwhp and 300 rwtq with those little mod I sure wouldn't be complaining about it. I think that performance red color must have added around fifty horse to the wheels. or maybe he was just being sarcastic with the whole "no nitrous on this run" ?

<--rysred

even if he did have 300+ rwhp, hp is still a factor of the rpm. he can have 300 rwhp a 1000 rpm higher than another guy with the same torque. torque doesnt really change drastically until forced induction.

did you use dynojet? or the thing that attach to your car and stuff? (don't know what it's call).. anyhow, it's impossible to get those #'s with those mods..

I used the one that attaches to the car, we made 3 runs, all were with 1hp of each other, in 4th gear, I will try to post pics of the car on it and the graph tomorrow.

I agree those numbers are way outta line.

Even if he went uncorrected.

Uncorrected I'm at 278 RWHP and 317 RWTQ.
