Dyno Challenge (LS1 version)

[CamTom12]

1970judge had a great idea in the LT1 forum and I'd like to bring it over here. Here's the rules:
1) Must be an N/A pull
2) Must provide scan of dynosheet
3) Videos of the pull are suggested, but not mandatory
4) As far as dyno tricks go, keep this in mind as ya'll go about this: would your mother be proud of what you're doing?

We'll set a deadline at a later date :D

[Jaberwaki]

can we make 2 differant #1's....

one for hp
one for TQ? :D

not fair to auto guys if we only do hp....

[CamTom12]

How about I come up with some sort of weighting scheme so both are taken into account (no fair on torque with ya'll auto's and your stall flashes, hahaha)? Sound fair?

[Jaberwaki]

could convert numbers to flywheel

[LiquidFire350]

how about an auto catergory and one for manuals

[gettinthere]

I like the flywheel numbers idea. Plus, my dyno is a Mustang Dyno so my numbers will be lower than some right off the bat. Even though I did put down 428 on that thing with a mid sized cam. New cam should produce some interesting numbers.

[CamTom12]

The problem with the flywheel converting is that some of us have heavier drivetrains. Just how much would we use for each? It's kind of a fuzzy area on that one.

Now there are mustang -> dynojet calcs that are widely accepted, those'd be fine.

Let's do an auto and a manual category, except Gettinthere. I want your old numbers from before in the manual and your new ones in the auto. Hell, I need some sort of competition in here :lol:

Well I was at 428 on a Mustang Dyno (~460 dyno jet...assuming 7% loss) thru the 6 speed. I'll have A4 numbers in a couple of weeks.

[CamTom12]

You know the rules. Dynosheets only.

Damn cheater.

What kind of deadline do ya'll want to set?

I need at least a week or two cause I still haven't put my new cam in, lol

I'd say end of March. This way people can get thier cars out of hibernation and I can get my new cam in.

And I'll post either the dyno sheet or a video of the pull and walk the camera up to the screen.

[Jaberwaki]

mine may not be ready by then.... :(

[gettinthere]

You're not gonna be on stock cubes anyways are you?

[Jaberwaki]

right now......
I wish i could say.... :( (long story dont ask)

[gettinthere]

Damn. If you ever feeling like sharing the story, PM me.

[gettinthere]

Or we could make it say June 1st like the LT1 guys are doing.

[Firehawk 526]

My Dyno #'s are almost (3) years old, and outdated since the other bolton mods. Still count?

[gettinthere]

If you want to use them, sure.

[CamTom12]

Go nuts, bro.

Probably will increase your chances of winning if you update your numbers... :)

June 1 sounds good by me, so June 1 it is!

[gettinthere]

:cool:

[gettinthere]

Rules are up. Did I forget anything?

[LiquidFire350]

i know im not gonna be winning this one, but just for clarification, are there going to be 2 catergorys, or just flywheel numbers

[gettinthere]

Hmm, good call.

We could either:
Have a category for sticks and one for autos
or
Calculate flywheel numbers


And we'll have to convert mustang dyno numbers to dyno jet numbers. (multiply by 1.07)

[CamTom12]

Sticks and autos. There's too much grey area in calculating driveline loss. Nothing that's really been proven to work 60% of the time it works every time, anyway.

[gettinthere]

2 it is then.

[gettinthere]

And for the record............That doesn't make any sense. :roflmao:

[LiquidFire350]

im gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline

[gettinthere]

Rather pungent........stings the nostrils.

I'll be posting up 400 hp (428 hp dynojet) cam-only through my 9" in a few weeks after I get my injectors and racetronix pump.

Off topic: B, what can you get me some green top 42#ers for? I can get them new for $250 shipped on the other board.

[CamTom12]

Good question. If I can ever find my damn keys to fire up my new cam I'll be needing new injectors as well...

I'll have a price for you Monday morning. I'm getting the same ones for myself so I'll just get prices on 2 sets. :cool:

Shoot me an e-mail with what you want. Addy in sig.

[gettinthere]

Damn video is being optimized.

[CamTom12]

works now!

[gettinthere]

Yours is like mine. :lol: Takes a minute to find the idle. Sounds bad though. :cool:

[LS13RDGEN]

So will there be a prize for the lowest LS1 dyno numbers? I bet I can win that catagory. (cough, cough 246rwhp cough, cough) :lol

[CamTom12]

How's everyone feel about extending this thing a month or so?

Personally I've been busy as hell lately and haven't been able to find/make it to a dyno in my area. I'm seriously about this close to driving to Nashville for a damn dyno (plus so I can tune some cars, lol)

[gettinthere]

We could make it Septemer 1st.

[Firehawk 526]

If I can scan my SLP Dyno #'s, then no problem, but a digital camera just isn't cuttin' it!

Surely, most everyone can beat an N/A 334/353 (rear wheel hp/tq):lol: :lol:

[LiquidFire350]

We could make it Septemer 1st.
hmm, still don't think im gonna top the list but how much did you say a tune was? unless i win the lotto, i'm probably not getting a cam this summer

i'd like to get some higher numbers tho, that and i have a werid feeling the car is running rich
