Dyno sheet from Wednesday, 286 rwhp

[Mike Puckett]

Here's my dyno sheet from Wednesday morning, 286 rwhp and 369.5 rwt. I'm really surprised that I was producing so much power. I guess that explains those 13.5's and 13.4. A guy there with a blown Mustang was upset because his was only 224 rwhp and 262 rwt compared to my V6. I should be over 300 rwhp after the cam install and some dyno power tuning.

Whoa, someone resize that monster!

Anyway, it looks like the heads are working well for you. What makes for the difference in output between the two pulls? Did you do some tuning, or is that due only to heatsoak?

It looks like the one pull had some pretty bad detonation IMO. If so, you need to find out how to make the car/motor more consistant. You will find that doing so will REALLY help you out at the track. I would have expected no more than 5 HP loss between runs even though they were done pretty close together.

did you get air/fuel?

edit: I Agree dave, depending on what the smoothing factor was in the dynojet software.

I wasn't there but Rick said my A/F showed I was running a bit rich which is what I expected. The 2 runs were 10-15 mins apart, just a cool down with fans blowing 40 something degree outside air in. There was an initial run that they threw out because the machine lost the #1 cyl pulse and didn't give a torque reading. It did show 284 rwhp though which is consistent. I guess we should put a gallon of 104 track gas in it next time.
