Default New dyno numbers in...

I finished installing my cam kit, ported throttle body and underdrive pulley two weeks ago and was able to take it to 21st Century Muscle Car today to be tuned. Go fast goodies include, Texas Speed torquer V2 cam, titanium retainers/prc springs, 78mm throttlebody, powerbond underdrive pulley, LG street series headers and halltech stinger air intake. Anyone in the DFW area, I had a great experience with 21st Century and would highly recommend them.

I do believe it is a dynojet, honestly I was grinning ear to ear, so I forgot to ask.

Very nice regardless , but if that's a stock headed LS1, it is unbelievable.

Its an 02 coupe with stock 241 heads on it, currently has 37k on the clock. I have only had the car dyno'ed on dynojet machines, but even 100% stock, it had high numbers, my original stock baseline was 325/339, after adding LG headers and halltech intake, it went to 358/365. Here is the original dyno from two years ago.

Agreed, nothing against the OP, but theres some dyno number fudging going on there, probably the shop that did the dyno. But theres no way a 346 is making that power cam only

Hey Chris,

By looking at the dyno sheet posted it definitely says "actual" instead of SAE on the sides of the dyno sheet. The SAE #s are 426.0 RWHP and 392.3 RWTQ
Sorry for the confusion as he must have checked the difference between actual & corrected and printed the wrong one or printed both and he gave you the incorrect one.

Nevertheless, congrats on a strong running car
and Thank You for your biz!

I can print and send you a correct SAE print out
or come by at your convenience.

Best Regards,
John Page

I dont see a correction number on the dyno sheet, the other sheet I have says SAE Horsepower and it shows 426/392 on it. I wasnt there watching the dyno being performed, but in all honesty, the shop that performed the dyno didnt sell any of the parts or perform any of the install work so I dont see a real reason for them to fudge numbers. All I know is the car runs great and feels tons faster, so I'm happy.

Guess we were posting at the same time! I do have the SAE sheet, it was behind the actual sheet and I didnt notice it until this morning when I was looking through everything. Thanks again John.

I just spoke with the tuner and he confirmed he included both.

Thanks again Chris and congrats on a strong running car

I put down 440 uncorrected hp with cam+heads+LT's+pulley, but only 412 SAE corrected. My vote is that the "actual" hp = uncorrected....which still is a pretty stout # depending on the conditions at the time of the dyno.

There is nothing that says a correction factor has to be 1.1 or more. In ALOT of cases, the correction factor can be .95 -.99

It is obvious that the dyno sheet is "Uncorrected". But unless they typically have a HUGE correction factor, the numbers wont be very far off from "SAE"

.1 is not .01

400 hp with a cf of 1.1 is 40 hp
400 hp with a cf of 1.01 is 4 hp
