Default First time on the Dyno, #'s inside!!!

Well I went to the same dyno as 85vet did. My car is a 92 Vette 12k, auto with 2.59,and corsa system, thats it. My Max HP was 270.7@5000 and max torque was 443.2 at 2750, Mike at speednation said he thought the torque number was somewhat high but we kept getting a higher than expected torque reading! What are you guys thoughts about that?

Also this was my best 1/4 mile time: 13.823@103.066
Distance Time Speed
100 yards 5.634 60.741
200 8.541 79.321
300 10.901 92.710
400 13.020 100.190
60 feet 2.249 31.024
1/4 mile 13.823 103.066

My best 0-60 was 5.44 seconds.

I was pretty happy with this, what do you think 3.73's and the hot cam kit will get me number-wise, of course a K&N intake and chip also!!!

Thanks
Scott :chevy

The torque reading is probably the peak that is shown from the "slingshot" effect of the converter. Somewhere across the "curve" the converter had to lock up... should be no higher than 300ft/lbs or so..

ScottsLT1, how did 85vet do I was the one that sent him to Mike. You will have to come out autocrossing with us next year you would have a blast.

Yes the torque is definately off due to what I believe is called converter flash. Did you find a shop to install the hotcam yet?
