Yes, it is almost that time.
The local f body crew is hosting a dyno day and I am strongly thinking about going. I'm looking for some decent #'s.
Now.... you may say.... james.... is the car ready?? I say, of course!
Granted.... you all would like to see some new #'s from me w/ a new abbot cam and 2nd stage of nitrous right??
Well, I have to warm up the dyno rollers before I bust out the bird..... so I shall bring the SEXINESS!
Yup, my 2004 Dodge neon SXT 5 speed!
Rated at 132 HP and 130 TQ
I cliked off a 15.7 with just the cold air kit.... never ran it with the exhaust.... but I'll do it sooner or later.
I have added the following:
Iceman cold air kit
SRT4 exhaust piping from the manifold back
I am picking up a dodge neon R/T muffler shortly. I used to run the entire SRT4 exhaust.... but the rear section has no muffler... and is a bit loud and hurt low end HP, TQ and fuel economy. I put the stock muffler back on and HP, TQ and fuel economy went up. So.... the R/T muffler should give me the best of both worlds - power and fuel economy w/o the annoying fart pipe sound.
Basically, intake and exhaust (T/B and exhaust manifold are stock).
Most of the local f body guys at this dyno day are bringing their beaters.... it should be fun and make for some rediculously low RWHP and RWTQ #'s
I am going to take a guess that I will make:
115-116 FWHP
119-120 FWTQ
Any guessers????
Jeez..... front wheel horsepower/ torque sounds so funny!
Oh yeah.... I should probably explain the bird thing a bit more.... yup... getting a cam and extra's soon and maybe later this year add a second stage nitrous (dry). I think I may bring the wet shot down to 75 and experiment with dry (50-75) to see the results. Updates/ pic's to come.
