Default Re: Normal dyno? (COLORADO FRC)

There is definitely a lot of difference from one dyno to another, I've decided to always use the same one each time I do any mods. My 1999 bone stock FRC pulled 319.6 RWHP, I've since added Andy's (A&A Corvette, Andy rocks!!!) stage II heads and cam, FLP Headers, ZO6 Intake, removed the cats and added an aluminum flywheel, also changed to 3:90's which will actually rob a few RWHP. Anyhow, my new dyno (did it today!) was 393.6 RWHP. A lot of people will try to add up HP in a cumulative manner (ie. intake 10, headers 15, heads 50 so I should have another 75, just doesn't work that way, plus most HP quotes for mods are quoted at the flywheel and not RWHP).
Thats an awesome stock dyno you have there!! Yours must have been a wednesday car ;) whats the torque look like with your current mods and how big is the cam?

well phills they probably rated the horsepower gain after it got tuned which i have not done yet so stop getting all annsey. I know a guy who did less than I did but put headers on but no full exhaust and he had it tuned and it came out like 322rwhp. So you would have to get it tuned. Which I am in the process of doing when I find a local tuner. Or in OKC :nono:
Well, the catback you have probably gained 0-5HP (Catbacks make noise, not power. The stock system flows very well.), and at that power level, a large throttle body is pretty much worthless and may have even hurt you with no tuning, so 292HP is about right.
Your friend with headers and tuning probably picked up 20-30HP so his dyno sounds right.

I'm stock, 1999 FRC six speed. 52K miles. I dyno'd 311 HP and 317 TQ on Saturday. Check out the thread below.

My friend with a '99 Coupe dyno'd 312 HP and 325 TQ with Borla Stingers.
