Optic and I had our cars dyno tuned by RP Motorsport today (they are GREAT BTW) using LS6 Edit. It was hot out, humid, raining, cars running over 210 degrees blah blah blah and all that but the cars did very well :)

Both cars are 02's, both have Vararam (so the power numbers are understated), both have long tube headers (his are TPIS, mine FLP), he has an underdrive pulley, I ran without cats and I have roller rockers and stronger valve springs (though they made zero power when installed).

Bottom line, and it KILLS me to admit this - Optic won :( He made exactly 1 more RWHP (381.1 Vs. 382.1) and nearly 7 more RWTQ to my 362.2. The torque difference could be the longer headers that he has, the pulley, or the off-road pipe hurting me, I will test mine with the cats back on later.

This is my first time on this particular dyno, others tell me it reads 5-10 RWHP less than the one that I usually test with. When I go back to test with the cats on and off I will be able to compare then.

Bottom line is I was hoping for 385, not unhappy with 381.1, which allowing for 15% power train loss means 448.3 at the crank - not shabby! Plus the power curve looks much better now, so I can't wait to get to the track :)

Optic - time for the rematch at Commerce :)

UMM now after talking all that CRAP O LA you are still getting waxed even at the dyno. By the way I even have the stock air bridge. My exact mods are:
VARARAM intake
TPIS HEADERS
25% ATI balancer
Band M shifter


Now it is time for the fun link for all to see. Click below for the dyno sheets:lol: http://www.misshowardstern.com/zo6/index.html

Lets go Les!!, Smoke Optic already

rbartick it is ok to dream.. :lol: :lol: :D

 

Hey Optic,

Your strategy you talked about in Off Topic must have worked. Pretty sneaky filling up Les' car with low octane fuel when he wasn't looking! :lol:
