Default dyno #'s - how does this sound...

329 hp & 489 ft/lbs @ 3500rpm.. (flywheel) These are from my LT1 Stroker, stock TB, Stock heads, bigger cam, 10.8:1 compression and no cats... they have not been correlated on the local eddy current dyno yet.. these are desktop Dyno numbers from a datamaster run.. I dont think they are dead on acculate but I'm thinking they probably give a good idea.. I'm headed to the local dyno shop sat.

Does this sound about right? only adding about 30 fwhp :sleep: and 149 ft/lbs (flywheel) :eek: or have you guys found this desktop dyno stuff to be total crap...

Sounds really weak to be honest. I don't trust desktop dyno for a single minute when it comes to HP guesses.

Datamasters dyno was about 50hp shy on my car.

I've got a similar setup. (check my sig) The HP is about right but I don't think you'll get that high on TQ. I'm getting around 329rwhp and 362rwtq. That was on a flakey opti though. I'm hoping to do a little better next time out. :D

BTW: that is supposed to be flywheel hp/tq.. I think yours is rear wheel hp/tq.. but either way.. It seems like an awfully big split between the tq and hp #'s.. :yesnod:

I used Desktop Dyno on my last 406 and when using actualy cam card info and head flow numbers, it was pretty darned close.

If you don't have this information, it really is just a guess.

this isnt with the program desktop dyno.. its with the desktop dyno option on datamaster.. which basically turns your car and the road into a huge accelerometer :yesnod:

At what rpm is the hp peak? If your torque is 489 ft/lbs @3500 rpm, you are already making 326 hp at only 3500 rpm. Surely your hp peak will be at a higher rpm than 3500.
