The Official Dyno Thread 2015
I like my username though! Its how people know me haha. I should be contributing more to this thread soon. Got a few more setups to dyno. Even if they don't go on the list if they aren't members, I can still post their numbers and setup.
Apparently it is lol I never thought it would be honestly. It made the same power on 23 lbs on my dyno as on a Dynojet 224, which is cool to have a nice comparison. A couple other cars did too. As I was turning up 30 psi made 604, 32 made 628, and 34 made 650. With my load control fixed I did a 31 psi pull while I was on the phone with tech support and that made 614whp/522tq. Boost tapered a bit up top on the higher boost pulls.
local crap talker asked me to come out to dyno day at his buddys shop, thinks I wont make 250whp on a mustang dyno and if I do, he will pay for my dyno.
09 HHR SS GMS1 20 psi, Airbox mod, 3" dp, ZZP Upper/Lower and Intercooler, 3 bar maps, forge BPV.
Thoughts? Keep in mind this is a mustang dyno that I have seen be 30-40 horsepower less than a local Dynojet. a M62 2.8 Sunfire made like 251whp at SMG in MA and put down 199whp on this dyno. Granted you shouldn't compare because couldn't been a different temp/humidity but its still a big difference.
Butt dyno reads maybe like 275whp and 300lb ft as it sits now in (dyno jet numbers I think). Do you think id make 250whp on a mustang?

I say 230s
Took the racecar out to the dyno to see where we are at. Running Time Attack here in SoCal, and trying to see what we need to fix/improve.
For the code: I,F,H,DP,E,T,42s,HE,PH,C,M62,FI,PI,VA,
2.2L L61, Forged bottom end, M62 takeoff kit installed, oversized all aluminum radiator, ZZP S3 H/E, dual pass, 42#, ZZP Long tube header into 2.5" stainless exhaust w/ high flow cat. Engine has some head work done to it, but the builder was vague.
We are racing a 370whp civic on e85, which is not an option for us) So trying to get teh Trifecta tune sorted out while looking to make the engine better for next season to go run Global Time Attack.

AFR's are whack. was not thrilled about it, i think it explains why the car is sluggish coming out of corners and has no ***** till 5k. Already talked to Trifecta and have a new tune I gotta flash tonight in the car.
When we race Big Willow May 31st im gonna try and use the interceptor to record IAT's. Sadly we have only been checking coolant temps lately on track.

Judging by the graph, the A/F's look pretty accurate. You can see how the super lean A/F reflects directly on the low-mid range torque. Talk about heat build up. Even up top, that's pretty lean for a track day tune. ****, that's lean even for a street tune. 
Yeah, I'm not happy that it's that lean. I need to be able to power off corners at the road course. We race Willow Springs May 31st. Gonna watch IAT's and see what it does. I sent the dyno charts to Trifecta last night and got a new tune today. Going to data log it tonight and look at my wideband while driving and see if it looks any better. I'm beginning to wonder how hard it would be to go stand alone ECU, just to be able to have someone local tune it, since racecar.
