got my car dyno'ed finally at Spring Fling
so i went to Spring Fling in Panama City today. i waited 5 hours to get my car on the dyno out there. it was on a dyno jet and the results were nothing to be proud of. i don't know if i should be mad at my car or the guy that drove it up there. when he went to pull it up on the rollers he burnt the clutch (his only job was to drive the cars on the dyno...no clue how the hell he did this), smoke came out from under the car and the smell was in the air. they then strapped it down and started the 3 pulls and the clutch didn't have enough time to cool down. i could smell the clutch after every pull. i'm assuming it is part of the reason of my horrific numbers. here is the graph from the first and best pull.
all is fine now. the car was parked for about an hour and i left. on the way home did a few pulls and the clutch didn't slip at all.
cliff notes....5 hours of waiting in line+$40=depressing

i was thinking about it a little more today and i think that it might have been a low reading dyno jet. don't most stock IX's run about 250awhp on most dyno jets? because the stock IX out there only got 230awhp. either way that would still only stick me at around 310awhp and 330awtq. it's still disappointing for my mods and after seeing an srt4 pull roughly 360whp

hell yeah that's a long way. next time i dyno will probably be at CFT. not really even a big fan of dynos though. there are too many variables between the different dynos and the calibration. i just want one number that i'm happy with
