Dyno Results... Input needed
Here are the dyno results for my car...
Best run was 382RWHP and 381.1 Torque, I am off of my target of 400RWHP but I think with LS1edit I should be able to find the missing power. I am a newbie at interpreting these numbers so if anyone can guide me to the changes that need to be made I would appreciate it. :cheers:
I am going to order LS1edit on Monday...

Great numbers helped by almost ideal AFR's. My AFR's fell to 11.0:1 at 5100 RPM killing my HP. Getting the ideal AFR's is HP just waiting to happen.

Re: Dyno Results... Input needed (wallstAL)
400 on an A4 is pretty tough, I don't think LS1 Edit will help you pick up that much HP, but maybe 10 HP would be my guess.
Very good number for an A4...390+ RWHP after tuning...nothing to be unhappy about. :cheers:

Re: Dyno Results... Input needed (2000^C5)
I figured... Just wanted some more expert opinions.

Re: Dyno Results... Input needed (2000^C5)
Sitting here going over the results of my dyno, I just realized that I have a mild cam 220/220 114 and still made 382.1RWHP in an A4. At first I was unhappy witht the results, but now am very happy. I just needed to sit back and analyze the numbers a little more...
I can't wait for the supercharger to come... :cheers:
And in closing I would like to add a
on Ohio's eCheck, as that was the reason I had to choose a mild cam...

Re: Dyno Results... Input needed (wave_3)
Congrats! I think those are excellent numbers for a mild cam in an a4... Your A/F looks to be perfect as well for a heads/cam setup.. I do not think you will find much more WOT power in the car with LS1edit because the A/F mixture is where the power is usually found.

Re: Dyno Results... Input needed (MattG)
You are actually running a bit too lean. Make sure you hook up to a scan tool and check for KR..

you better get those A/F down to 13, with a supercharger your pistons may become toast if you don't(if a/f move higher on even 1 cyl).
with my cars i use a temporary A/F gauge on top the dash.

Re: Dyno Results... Input needed (CHRIS NJ C5)
Good power! I gotta agree with CHRIS, that A/F is a little lean. Mine made best power running in the 13-13.5:1 range. Just a touch richer might net a couple of H, and will give you a little insurance against detonation. :chevy

Re: Dyno Results... Input needed (Ram Air Tony)
I agree..........and with the LS6 heads, you are pushing 10.5:1 compression IF LPE doesnt mill them any

Re: Dyno Results... Input needed (wave_3)
also consider the AUT-9902
it measures AFR
plus injector pulse width
Using LED's, different colors, it allows you to watch for maxed out injectors along with climbing AFR's
real :cool: with S/C
i have not tried it, so ask if it will work with the LS1
sure all this can be done with a scan tool, but here you just watch for red(danger) vs. green lights, easier to do while driving fast than reading a scan tool
