Say it ain't so Joe!
Formula race car motors are manufactured and sealed so you can't legally mess with them before a race. Teams with big bucks just buy 30 of so of them, dyno each one, keep the hottest and sell the rest. Say it ain't so Joe! The moral of the story is something we all experience every once in a while. You get your hands on a car that's supposed to be like everybody else's, but it's just hot.

Yesterday I installed a couple go fast goodies to my buddies car (the one that this thread is about.
I put on my old Stg4 ported eaton and a 2.8 upper. he'll be getting a tune this saturday. so we'll se if he makes a big improvement or not.

Steeda RAI, Bassani X, Flowmaster Cat-back = 439HP/406Trq SAE on a dyno jet...
I'm thinking it's cause it's orange... :shrug: :banana:

Interesting theory, and certainly a factor. I believe another factor is the tune that came from the factory coupled with manufacturing tolerances. I remember well that some stock Terminators were posting dyno sheets with a fatter A/F than others. The A/F curves varied sometimes widely from other stock Terminators. Whereas aftermarket tunes are more consistent as far as A/F. So manufacturing tolerances, tune and break-in are all reasons why the reported spread was so wide. Interesting subject.
My car put down 435rwhp / 395rwtq when all I had was M55 catback, UPR O/R X, and K&N FIPK. No tune.
Mine did 416 hp 383 tq with a FIPK and dynomax catback SAE
ya, but what was it trapping? should be about 116 atleast I would think. I trapped 117.5 with 442rwhp on a full weight vert (so far).
The rwtq numbers in case you all are wondering are 385.42, 391.79, and 389.84
metalhead131 got his car tuned yesterday with the port, 2.8 upper and 55lb inj and put down 496SAE (512STD). We did not get any torqu readings due to a problem with the dyno. The numbers were based on MPH instead of rpm.
I am very impressed with what it put down with minimal mods. Now he needs to take it back to the same dyno that it made 429 on to compare the numbers.
John: (metalhead131), I cant PM you because you dont have enough posts. You should leave your old HP numbers on your profile for the timeslip database until you make a pass with the new combo (Thats why I haven't updated mine). It looks kind of funny with 496HP and only 391TQ running a 12.98 @ 110, lol. I cant wait to see a 11.40 @ 124 out of your beast

Surely you jest.
Either give a FULL list of mods or start thinking before you go making up numbers on this, of all forums.
Don't say I'm making something up, because your calling me a liar and I would never lie about #'s I made on a dyno. Unless the guy who I bought the car from just didn't want to say he had the blower ported or throw a stroker motor in it or something I don't know where the extra power came from. Yes I do recognize those are freakish #'s for my mods, but what do you want me to do, deny what I made?
Here is my dyno sheet.
Here is a picture of my motor.

I made 403 to the wheels with just a Dynomax CB and LFP filter!!!(without a tune)
Pulley, plugs and RET 91 octane tune brought me up to 466.
I've heard of many non-pulley cars hitting 425 or so with the right tune.
Later...Dave

Mine put down 433/418 with C&L CAI, K&N FIPK II, BBK catted X and SLP LM 1
Really shouldn't post STD numbers since they are so very dependent on the atmospheric conditions at the time of the pull. makes it hard to properly compare with everyone else.
He's posting STD numbers.
