Dyno question...
Took the car to get it dynoed last weekend. My best pull brought me about 254.2rwhp@276.8max torque. Does this sound right? I was hoping for more torque with this converter and this seemed a little low. My mods are listed in my sig. Nothing really done to the engine...just converter and gears. My Hp was what I expected but was a little dissapointed in torque. Am I wrong. Toward the end of the run my graph tended to flutter a little where most cars smoothy down slope on the graph after fuel cutt off. What could this be from? Any replys are much appreciated :seeya

With a B&B TriFlo exhaust, cut lid, K&N, MSD 6A, NGK Plugs, Taylor wires my '94 dynoed 253rwhp and 296tq. So you're right along the same area. Remember also that you have a little more loss through the auto than us manual tranny guys do. Torque convertors can have an odd impact on the #'s an auto car dynoes if you don't hit it just right.
Without seeing the chart,...I'd hate to speculate on what could be going on in the upper RPMS.

Sounds right on HP, whats the flywheel torque rating on the 96 LT1? 330?

Re: Dyno question... (dscottr)
Ok, here is the dyno chart. What I am concerned with is the way it jumps and dips toward the end. This cannot be normal. If anyone has a clue, let me know.
