Yep. That's what I said to the stripper last weekend at the strip club.

Off to get tuned tomorrow. Anyone care to guess on numbers?

For reference, OEM numbers are 405 HP/400 lb-ft. Mods are shorty headers, HFCs, x-pipe, cat-back, intake.

I don't know what type of dyno they use, fwiw.

I foresee a recall on the numbers you put down.

jpkirk 09-17-2014 08:29 AM

Are those numbers at the crank or wheels?

I went to this Hot Rod Mag site

Chassis Dyno Guide

went to the last page, calculated some percentages based on facts not really in evidence and came up with some numbers. I dunno. Many variables. What's the barometer reading today?

Assume at least 10% drive train loss, give or take. More, with older slush boxes. Modern ones aren't so bad.

I'm guessing I'm around 450ish crank HP, maybe a little less. So I'm guessing 395ish.

Barometer shouldn't matter, it's taken into account. Also, this dyno is brand new. So new in fact, that there are only two places that have it: Dynojet themselves, and this shop.

Ambient air temperature and humidity make an ENORMOUS difference in your dyno numbers by the way. Just ask Frank.

Right, and then you apply SAE correction factors. And then they don't matter so much.

Alright, so I picked up about 7 HP and 12 torque to the wheels with the tune. Peak numbers weren't what anyone thought (and admittedly, even I was aiming high.) Likely due to 1) less HP from mods than anticipated, 2) higher drivetrain loss than anticipated, 3) a factor of both.

Likely, the answer was #3. Ended up with 370 WHP/362 torque in the end, which is right where it should be. Some more research yielded some mild cam cars that havent even broken 400 WHP, so I didnt feel bad.

Butt dyno approves of the tune - power band feels much smoother and responsive.

I guess the old mantra "there's no replacement for displacement" isn't really valid in this case... :stirthepot:

Definitely lower numbers than I would have guessed. Then again your car weighs as much as Steve's cat.

I guess you'll have to hit their dyno as well, so we can get an idea how much less you have.

:cool:

Jk, it is a load bearing dyno, so I'd compare it to a Mustang dyno. And in the end, who cares: it's just another dyno :-p

If my car is going on the rollers again (which it will soon) it's gonna be at Moore to see what the Steeda tune actually gave me at the rear wheels since that's where I got my baseline ;)

Well that just gives me more excuse fuel. "It was a different dyno!". " the weather was different that day! ".

Chris is super talented. You'll do well there I'm sure. They had a viper on the dyno last time I was up there.

So I've managed to grow scorpion peppers. I just ate one and I'm not quite sure whether I'll live or not yet. Who wants one? I'm going to make chili and a wing glaze out of them

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinidad_moruga_scorpion

To give you an idea, military grade pepper spray is about 2,000,000 Scoville

These peppers range from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000.

Seriously

Oh god it hurts

Edit: co have made a huge mistake. If I could claw my own tongue out, I would

Edit2: I have been sucking on a piece of bread for about a half hour now. It hurts a little less but I think the taste buds on 1/2 of my tongue are gone.

I might try a bit of the chili or wing glaze if you want to share, but I will not eat the pepper by itself.

So, I was going on the urban legend that some of the hottest peppers can kill. Snopes put an end to that for me. One pepper won't do it. But I liked this article...

Can you die from eating the world's hottest pepper

Took 3rd place again today. I need to kill that guy with the '91 right hand drive integra
Edit: I'd post a picture of the trophy but it's the same as the last one.

MAZOC has standings points in the club show circuit now lol

I think if I did some carbon accent pieces etc in my interior, I could probably win one of these things but I don't think I want to.
