yea it got warm out very quick. i was dyno'd around 12 and it was already 94 out. and david was 2 cars ahead of me

 

I think my sheet says it was 92 degrees and I ran at 11:22.

 

You won't need to worry about heat soak soon enough

 

lol thats for damn sure!

 

With meth injection you get heat soak so I hope your not speaking about that.

Idling causes heat soak, decel causes heat soak. And blah blah blah

 

 

Maybe he's moving north

 

Lulz no matter what you'll still get heat soak at idle and decels... I get heat soak in my palm....... I mean my wife does! Wtf?

 

Won't matter with how he's being setup

 

at least you know real world powerl lvl's in kali. instead of max, since your not goin to be driving at -40 degree temps

 

Yes there will always be SOME heat soak. But you CAN make it matter less and less...

 

ahh ok now i understand.

 

Who needs e85? Lol

 

So much fail. I dont even know where to begin... His AFR alone im not super shocked it put down low numbers. But it could be a heart braking dyno but admitting the tune was not spot on only hert's even more.. IMHO his bad/pig rich tune hert him more than the hot temps did. As ive put many a car on the dyno in 110+ degree weather(at UTI rancho in the summer) and with alittle tweaking was able to to meet or beat cold weather dyno #'s and even break records given enough time to tune and tweak. But this was a dyno run only no tuning. Steve GET TO WORK!

 

I understand that big rich like that was a problem what i didnt understand was why it mattered what the outside temps was because no one said he was heat soaking till later.

 

I'm sure the 94 ambient temp played a small role in the low numbers but I know its all in the tune. Like they say, leaner is meaner. Again I'm on a zzp canned tune for the moment

 

Was there any stock cobalts there that dynoed for comparissons sake? Any similar set up lsjs?

 

210whp a ion redline
stock

 

^^^that sounds about right, id still say it could had seen better numbers in colder ambient. probably 5-10whp more since thats what most stock lsj's dyno at..

 

I'm going to blame it on my dirty filter that I forgot to clean lol jk

 

my stocker dynoed at 189whp but on a different spot
but the same dyno.

 

either something wrong with that dyno or your car thats way too low and unacurate. but then again at the end its just numbers..

 

Not having the time to tweak/tune makes it clear that even in cold weather i dont think he would have done better. AFR is the most crucial thing when on the dyno, Having the thermostat open early and the fan's to come on early are just easy way's of negating the heat soak on a hot day in any car. Also adding timing can produce great results even if it's over 100 out. The outside temps didnt matter as can be proven by the 210 WHP stock IRL which is right where it should be seeing as it's rated at 205/200 at the crank and put more than that to the tires which is normal even given drivetrain loss and outside temps as they are underrated in stock form. His setup and tune is what made low#'s IMHO. Steve get to work buddy! One day ill have an IRL for you to work on! There so cheap now lol! And why not throw the racecar prius on the roller's....?

 

Melon if you have a wideband we can schedule a tune to clean up any canned shenanigans

 

Following through with this would be one of your worst... i mean BEST decisions ever.
