View Full Version : Got some parts and dynoed the car

I picked up some parts today: BBK longtube headers, BBK cat h pipe, and a Romac balancer.

I also had my car dynoed at Houston Performance. The first two runs were both 240rwhp. The last run, after letting it sit for about 15 minutes was 242.8rwhp, 281.4rwtq.

I dynoed the car at HP before and got 232/282. The difference between then and now is the car is at base timing (10*) vs. 12-13* before, a set of pullies and a Pro-M 77mm MAF. The car needs a tune up badly, so I'm pretty sure that will get me anoter 5 or so HP. Plus, my exhaust is in bad shape, so that could be hurting performance as well. I was really hoping to see closer to 250rwhp.

I wanted to get this done and I'll get it done again after the parts install and see what the difference is.

Once I figure out why my camera can't be seen by Windows, I'll post some pics of the parts. Not that you haven't seen headers...

Good info Russ.

How 'bout a quickie tech article describing (in a little-more detail) the changes and comparing the dynos)? It'd be good information to refer to sometimes down the road for someone.

Good luck and thanks for sharing,

Rick
