See the numbers in my sig. I'm happy, considering it was like 95deg out. I have some KR to deal with. Once I get it tweaked, I think I can get about 410hp and 380tq.

Real good numbers! You'd definitely see an increase if the dyno had been done in cooler weather. :cheers:

How do you like the idle, and low rpm drivability of that cam?

Guys, changes in temperatures dont affect results THAT much on a dyno, thats what the correction factor is there for. I'm not saying the numbers wont change a little, but either way its getting corrected.

From my experience its never matter what the temperature was, my results were always within 1-2 hp of my other previous runs on different days.

Anyways, sounds like about average numbers for a heads/cam combo. Not bad. Do you still have cats on the car?

I'd say it's pretty close to stock Kewlbrz. Once in a while I get a little surge if I nearly stall it, but that's to be expected. I'm starting to second guess the Stingers with my setup now because it is loud. Most of the time it's fine that way, but there are times when I'm cruising down the highway that I don't want to hear it. Choices choices....

jmX, the cats are still on the car. I think with an X pipe, some additional tweaking of the PCM and if I were to get off my **** and install my vortex, I could be around 410 ish...

During all three pulls, I would see two puffs of smoke near the top where she makes all her power and they were consistent. That's where I was getting KR and the low octane fuel cells were being used. I know that had to rob me of a few ponies.

Matter of fact sometimes the correction factors seem to be a bit optimistic, I have seen cars dyno slightly higher in worst weather because of correction. Whenever more math becomes involved the chance for error increases :) Naturally uncorrected numbers will be higher in better weather..

Good numbers though :cheers:
