dyno results

[jmmullin]

Well, for the first time in three years I took the Camaro to a dyno; My results were kind of lame for what I expected...but oh well. Its not anything special anyway. The only mods to the car is the free ram air, which doesnt help on a stationary dyno haha and a flowmaster muffler with dual exits. The car has I believe 3.42 gears in it, because the door code is GU6, but I guess I could be wrong... lol

Anyway, the results were this: 167 rwhp, 193 rwtq

Isn't that like a 30% drivetrain loss? It IS an automatic, but I figured the hp would be around 175... Any opinions?

Anyway the real reason I went to the dyno was for the Z28, with a heads and cam, intake manifold, exhaust build, and that took 435 rwhp, 389 rwtq!!!

:) Just wanted to post!

How many miles? Most cars don't really live up to their quoted numbers, and not to mention, 200 HP is GM's measurement at the flywheel I believe.

correct

HP ratings are at the flywheel, its a way to cheat to get bigger numbers in a way.

if your car was a manual, im sure you would have reached the 175 mark

that is actually impressive to me, i figured our cars would be making arund 140 at the wheels

ehhh yea...I thought it was a 210hp engine rating... meh

Its got 91k on it..I'm not impressed by hp, but the torque seemed pretty good!

IIRC its 200 HP, and either 215 or 225 torque

Re: dyno results
