Default Going To Dyno Tomorrow

Tomorrow morning I am going to have my vette dynoed for rwhp. ($75 for two pulls) With the set up I have I'm expecting about 200-220. I will be surprised if I get more than that. Will post results along with engine specs tomorrow afternoon.

Do you get to run the car on the dyno or do they run the car. The one time I have had mine on the dyno I got to make the pulls. Best I could do out of mine was 252RWHP and 300RWTQ. I was ok with that.

Have fun and good luck with it.

I dyno'ed my car last Oct at C3X in B.G.
What a blast that was. The car was running really lean, but I managed 278 hp 309 ft.lb. at the rear wheels. Next year when the TPI system and the NOS is installed, I hope the numbers climb into the axle breaking range.

My car runs at 340 foot pounds of torque, and 260 HP right up to 5,500. I'm looking forward to aluminum heads of one flavor or another it it's future.

With 340 ft.lbs torque, that thing must pull hard down the road. What camshaft are you running? Just curious.
