Default Dyno results with nitrous

I recently changed my nitrous tune up and wanted to spray it on the dyno first to make sure things were safe. Made 2 pulls with it the other night and was pretty happy with the results.

I'm running a mild 350sbc with old school 144 blower. When I first put motor in the car made 386rwhp 406rwtq with pump gas and 6-7psi of boost. went 11.80 @ 116mph with a stick trans.

Last year I added nitrous and with a 75-100hp jetting I dyno'd at 493rwhp and 554rwtq on pump gas. Spray at track from 2nd gear on and went 11.2x @125mph.


I just stepped up jetting for a 125-150hp shot. Added 5gallons of VP 110 with 5 gallons of 93 pump gas. put in fresh NGK-8 plugs gapped at 0.020". Set my Mallory box to pull 7deg of timing when nitrous hits.

ended up making 560rwhp 655rwtq. AFR was fat around 11.5-11.9 range. pulled a few plugs after each pull and burn mark looked good.

only issue I have is the damn supercharger belt was slipping, and on first pull it jumped of tensioner. I need to figure out a custom tensioner set up.

Here's copy of my graph:



Heres a video:

I had to look twice. The HP numbers are to the left of the graph and the torque numbers are at the right border- different scales for each side.

That graph has hp scale on left and torque scale on right. Not sure why they dont match up. I exported graph and emailed it to my phone from dyno pc. I'll have ask my buddy about the setting on graph screen here is a data chart of one of the dyno runs.

Thanks, but was looking for what the OP has. I noticed on the dyno sheet a reference to Ramadei. Could be one of his diffs?
