sad dyno numbers

88workcar · 02-25-2006, 01:20 PM

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.
