Default First dyno pull tomorrow...

Can anyone offer any advice? I have no idea what to expect. Is there any preparation to do aside from checking all the fluids? K&N is clean, car seems to run great. Also, my '94 LT-1 A-4 has a Borla cat-back and the previous owner installed a 160* t-stat, but is otherwise stock, about how much RWHP and RWTQ should this car pull? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Have fun! I dyno'd my '92 LT-1 A-4 (3.07 stock rear) back in January on a DynoJet Dyno.

My mods are: K&N, Throttle body Airfoil, 160* Thermo, Hypertech Stage II, AFPR, Borla Cat back minus the cats.

My numbers were:


I was happy. The gains came from adjusting the Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator. I ended up just below 12:1 Air/Fuel. I have adjusted it to be 12:1 for now until I can do some more tuning. All in all, I'd say not bad for a 12 year old car with 117,000 miles on it. You can go to this link http://mywebpages.comcast.net/novainc448/jaysvette.html if you would like to see the car.

As you know, the mods never end and I hope to make some more this summer. :cheers:

Thanks for the response Grape8! I will be pretty happy if my car pulls somewhere near your numbers. I still have my cats (good ol' California you know), but otherwise our cars should be a pretty close comparison, I hope.

Also, you not only have a super looking Vette, but the scenery in the background is gorgeous too. Gotta get back there sometime and look around.
