Yup, that would make it scale about right. I like to keep torque and HP the same scale to show off the big-block like torque these little 2 liters are putting down. I am still amazed every time I accellerate without downshifting this car. It just moves with 330+ ft lbs at 3200 RPM if you load it.

The torque is the dotted line the scale is different on the right side which is the tq. I will have to take a full picture since the guy did not come through with the file that he sent me. Though you can see that my name on that sheet is L.P. and my screen name is the same..its my sheet...here is the vid of my car getting dynoed.
BTW this was a 4th gear dyno pull.

Honestly I think thats enough tq for me..really enough power. The track I live near opens the 28th of this month we will see how I'll do. Thank god 1st gear is limited to 10psi or it would be horrible. I need some Drs but I need to see if money will allow for it first.

Though your power seems to fall short relatively quick.
Do the LNFs make power on the stock cams up till 6900 rpm like the LSJs?
None-the-less, good luck keeping up with you. Your trq band even before peak is damn amazing,
Happy tire spin!

They quit making power pretty much at 5800 rpms...I believe its due though to the shorter gearing. The tq probably ends quick on these engines because of the small turbos as well.....I believe these numbers are good enough for high 12's if I can get the power to the ground we will see though...I will post up my slips.

Definitely good for 12s, so long as you get a 2.2 60' or better.
You have a set of slicks or DRs ready for the track already?

The downpipe should help flow, an intercooler may help with dyno numbers compared to the street (where higher air flow over the stock cooler may be more than adequate), and charge piping probably won't do a whole lot with the flow limitation of the turbo. The only way to tell for certain is to test, but all things considered you can't take power numbers and start adding on to it for a bunch of other modifications. There could be other limitations already coming into play like fueling, knock, etc., where adding more parts might not help much if at all. The whole powertrain works as a system and while improvements here and there can help, if something is already max'd out they may not help as much as on a less modified car.I can't see any of the dyno pics from this computer, but my guess is there was a massive swell in torque in the lower/mid-range that falls off quite a bit due to flow limitations of the turbo. Depending on the tune, the car, tractions, etc., that can make for a very fun car or one that's not as drivable as one with similar horsepower numbers on the top end and a flatter torque curve down low. That power is still very impressive for such little changes to the car and I bet is very fun once it hooks up.

Let's be careful not to get into the rice math.

The drop is more than likely due to the turbo. Gearing may affect acceleration times moving the car but less so on a dyno. You definitely should be able to click off a 12-second pass depending on your track but you might be traction limited, especially with that much torque coming on hard. The Brembo brakes are great but it sucks for drag racing not being able to fit a smaller wheel and racing slicks over them. But even with a wide drag radial on a decent track I'd predict an upper 12 at around 110 if the curve looks like what I think it does.

you or obsessed with flow limitations of our stock turbo it is not that small... if it can push mid to low 300 hp range it is not small now a ford probes turbo i cant even put my dick in the compressor inlet that has "flow limitations"...
