Dyno Numbers Are In: A Lesson In Power Under The Curve
Well, first the bad news. No RWD numbers. The car lit up like a Christmas tree with PSM/ABS/CEL. It did not like RWD. I had my laptop and cleared codes , but no luck. So we strapped it down in AWD and let 'er rip... and rip it did. the AWHP numbers were 510.8HP and AWTQ was 565.4TQ. Pretty strong torque curve... guess that explains the 128+ trap. Using EVO's loss factor of 18.5% for an AWD run the FWHP is 627HP and 694TQ. Kevin's programming is phenomenal. HP is great but the useable TQ tells the tale. I have posted the run log as well in 100rpm increments.Flywheel TQ at 3K RPM is 465 and at 3500RPM it is 584.The dyno tech also put in a thermocouple in the IC inlet to measure the heat Delta. 67deg to start 180 degrees 10 sec later. I held my hand over the inlet and it felt like a hairdryer. This was my street 1.25+ bar file with 4 gal of GT104 unleaded. The scary part of this whole day is the knowledge that Kevin, as we speak, is uploading my 1/4 mile, 100 octane file that can only be used 1320ft at a time- no street, no roadcourse... just the 1/4 mile into my Pocket Programmer. The results speak for themselves. Kevin

I have to say that those numbers are great...."Using EVO's loss factor of 18.5% for an AWD run FWHP is 627HP and 694TQ". I am very impressed. Glad all went well with the programming and dyno results.

wow...that is some real world, no bull#$t power. Very nice indeed. Have you dynod it on pump gas? I only ask because Ill never probably use race gas, so Id like to see what it has on that.
Do you have any problem hooking up that power with your clutch? I've heard that clutch is good for about 600hp.

Maxwell, Vincent, Scott and Alex .... thanks. The dyno tech Rich, who is a 6speeder and a 996TT owner as well, was very impressed. He actually had a dyno run of his car when it was stock and overlayed it on my graphs and it looked like a flat country road leading to the mountains..... now for the 1/4 file Kevin
