Default Dynoed the 89 last night



I was pretty happy with the results. As you can see it makes a lot of torque for quite some time with over 400 from 3500 to about 5250 and it's very flat. Peak power is around 5500 which I thought was a little low but that could be because it was a little on the lean side and I'm still sucking through a MAF (even though I'm running Speed Density) and a stock airbox designed for a 240hp car. Even so, it was was making close to 400hp when I had him quit at 6250. I didn't have the time to fool with the AFR. I'll add some fuel to the PE table at 5000 and up to bring it down. If you can't read the graph, it made 407 peak HP and 418 peak TQ.

The guys at the dyno shop were all very nice and were impressed with the car. It is so loud on the dyno it was incredible!

This is the final chapter for this car. For those who are interested, have it for sale here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4s-...fx3-coupe.html. I just bought a new 2011 Z06 Inferno Orange Carbon Edition!

I think you showed what the limits of the MAF are. Nice car and numbers.
