My car is a BEAST! Dyno numbers.

[Silver_04]

Well, kinda. Just got back from the local dyno and here's the numbers. Drumroll please...

Marauder
Pull 1 250.7 RWHP & 262.0 RWTQ
Pull 2 242.0 RWHP & 249.0 RWTQ
Pull 3 233.9 RWHP & 242.2 RWTQ

The computer crashed between runs 1 and 2 and the car sat running for 9 minutes between runs, which in my little world explains the drop. Runs 2 and 3 were back to back. This car sounds like a demon stock...I don't think I can bring myself to ever change the exhaust.

Corvette
Pull 1 285.0 RWHP & 296.1 RWTQ
Pull 2 282.6 RWHP & 292.5 RWTQ
Pull 3 280.5 RWHP & 298.5 RWTQ

All runs made back to back.

Here's the nitty gritty:
DynoJet equipment, and all results are SAE corrected. Both cars have table tops for torque curves and no mods on either. I'll post pics and vid clips in a bit and my graphs are being e-mailed to me so I'll get those up a little later.

Bwaaahaha!

Very nice.... :up:

Nice numbers. Your Marauder seems to be a strong one.

Is your Corvette an A4? If so, those numbers definetly indicate the car is making the horsepower advertised. Although I have seen stock C5s dyno at almost 300RWHP.

Thanks guys :up:

Yep, the Vette is an A4. The horsepower is dead nuts and the torque was a tick higher than I expected. :banana:

The vid and audio are pretty good considering it was taken on my digi still camera. Just click the pic and it will take a minute or so to for the vid to download cause the server it's on is a wee bit slow...well that and it's a 7meg file. Mercury should have used something like this for TV commercials. Anyways, the vid should launch automatically in Windows Media player.

Need to find more webspace for the Vette vid.

Edit: The vid download should be more stable now. The Vette is up too.

I always thought the LS1 was closer to 300 rwhp. Is the auto tranny eating the 15 rwhp?

[Silver_04]

Well, actually Pull 1 listed above for the Vette (an A4) was really the third pull of the day but the first recorded. The very first run was in the 290's but we tossed it because the guy running the dyno thought he used the wrong gear even though it turned out he did have the right gear. He tried another gear on run two, which was indeed the wrong gear, so he went back to third gear for the rest of the runs. What I posted was truly pulls 3, 4, and 5.

Good runs for a stock car... A Couple more hundred hp to the wheels and you'll be right with me! :up:
