sad dyno numbers

heh, yea that cam should pull past 6k no problem, thats where the 302 would peak in my opinion.....friend of mine is having some troubles with his c4 also, it was built by "ger" well they went out of buisness shortly after? Now he's having problems, with a h/c/i injected, and 125 nitrous, it wont stall at it's rating, and it's already burned something up, the cooler is one of the best money buys......i tried to talk him out of that conversion

hey dark 5.0, do you still run that explorer intake?

I have heard that a converter will lie to the dyno. Don't worry about the dyno #s. Track testing is the only real way to tune a car. My new combo only shows 280hp on the anlizer. I ran 12.60 @ 111mph not being able to shift the car. I am suppose to have 350hp. I know that I don't.

The shop owner said the same thing. It's really just baseline to measure from. The converter I hope is a quality piece. I bought it from dynamic, it was $600+ but I don't have any time on the car so will have to see. I was hoping it will flash pretty high. And in the end if the c4 doesn't work out, I will get a tremec. The cam is lame. But with stock pistons that was all I could do. I was thinking of adding a 100 shot to it too. I was just curious as to what you people thought. 88workcar nice to see you back.
