Taking car to dyno...

[ViperScot]

I'm going to take my car to the dyno in the next couple of weeks. It's a 1996 RT-10 with smoothe tubes, headers, roller rockers, high-flow cats, Corsa exhaust, 'stage 3' head work, cams, larger throttle bodies, lightened flywheel and 3.54 gears. It'll go onto a Dastek dyno. Any ideas of what power I should expect? Either wheel or crank. Cheers.

Hi Hamish, are you coming down to Dalkety bay to dyno? I live not far we could meet up

I was planning on going to one in Aberdeen - a bit closer to home.

[vprman]

Makes sense, didn't know there was one in Aberdeen. When you taking it? I am in Aberdeen quite regularly

I was going to go this w/e but was told that there might not be any staff there (they're going to the Autosport International event). If not, probably the following Saturday, weather permitting.

If this is a game I go for 465 RW 400 is stock so you must be making 65-80 on top.

Paul 400 is stock at the fly not at the wheels..... and a 96 had 415.....
Come on Paul you know that....

I'd be very happy with 465 RWHP! Not entirely impossible although I think I'd need to get the fuelling really well mapped to achieve that.

Sorry typo should have been FW hence two letters

It would be worth checking with the dyno company that they have a "6" stud hub adaptor, I,ve had this problem as only a few cars run with more than 5 wheel studs.Good luck..sure your going to be 400+ rwh. TOM

I think it's a 'rolling road' type dyno though...

If it is then you will get power loss through "tyre slip" as most rolling roads become a bit woolly over 400rwhp.We had then Venom dynoed at power engineering and they found it difficult to get accurate RWHP from our car (they didn`t even attempt a power reading on NOS!) Good Luck anyway, look forward to hearing what figures they come up with!
