Dyno results after cams

mods:

3" turbo back(HFC)
HKS 264/272
MBC
Walboro
93 oct
2005MR
Done by Dynoflash custom tune

Overall it feels much smoother, and stronger up top.

Car made 310whp and dont even know the TQ b/c I didn't get the sheet w/ Tq numbers. AFR was 11.6

I see some cars makine 330-350 a little disapointed...w/ same mods

could be the cam set you went with, or could be the weather thats making your power on the dyno decrease.

There are my results after cams V 272's. And I have a 9.8 hotside. And this was done on 100oct, so your car is making some good power.

even al said my car was on the weak side =( , they thought maybe it was a boost leak but couldn't find any major leaks.

How much WHP does weather play a role comparing summer 85 F to winter 32F ?

well of course the hotter it is the hotter your car will be running, even i notice while daily driving my evo, when its 95 degrees outside during the day the car runs somewhat sluggish not to its usual potential then later at night the car feels great because its cooled down in the evening. id say try running it again on a dyno on a cooler day and maybe try a different shop with a dyno.

just curious.....how many "pulls" does a custom tune usually take, I think he did about 5-6 pulls?

There is no "usually," because it depends on the car, the mods, and how far off the tune is from the beginning. He usually chooses a base file that is close, then modifies it from there, and if it's already very close, then it doesn't require much of a change. If it's far off or a complicated setup, then it takes longer.

Btw, you can't just state HP in a vaccuum. You have to give the type of dyno, or it means nothing. Dynos don't read the same, so you shouldn't just see one number and compare it to another number. You also have to mention the run conditions and correction factor - all of this makes a big difference in numbers. Finally, the HFC robs you of about 10-15whp.

Tuning notes *

This particular car may have been a bit weaker than others although it is hard to say given the really hot weather we have had lately which have brought weak numbers accross the board

The high flow cat may not have been flowinwg that great

It seemeed the car was at the edge of knocking at 326 whp and 330 Tq and 21 psi of boost, maybe it was a bad tank of gas

Again, the high temps of August are real dyno number breakers as in the dyno pit its usually 5 - 10 degrees hotter than outside due to the heat radiating from the car

Thanks and enjoy the tune

It robs this much power? I was thinking about getting one. Now I'm debating.
Environment or Power? Hmmm.

get rid of your cat, and u will get 10 rwhp, add a ebay 02 housing and u should get another 7-15 whp.

just that and u should get roughly (very rough) extra 20 horses at the wheels. that will put u upto to 330whp.

There is usually enough of a margin of saftey in each tune so you dont need a retune with minor mods like a exhuast change
