Bone Stock, 177miles on it,

230HP!!!!

Frustrating though as it still gainiing significant power up to the rev-limiter. Can't wait till I get my tuning software. I see at least 40-50HP in tuning alone!

Now the modding begins! Will post pic of dyno shortly.

 

What kind of dyno and what gear... I dyno'd 230hp in 3rd on a dynojet and got flamed...

Good Luck and Nice Numbers!

you dyno'd it before you let it break in?!?!?! can't be good for it. Mine never even saw anyhting above 3K until 500 miles, but nice numbers anyways

 

Your engine likes to see some reving to seal in valves and such. Babying it that bad probably isnt helpful either. Redlining it on a dyno is probably worse tho.

 

I made sure the valves were plenty sealed after i ticked over 500. I probably got close to 4K rpm but only once.

 

I've had 8 new cars in the past 20 years and have broke them all in the same way! Like you want it to run, fast! All of my cars have been a little quicker than average and i can thank the old'timer that tipped me off to that method of break-in. They are built ready to go from the factory! Also, i'm a GM certified tech and EVERY car we PDI gets floored to test it

That was a 3rd gear pull, why dyno in an overdrive gear??? My Impala dyno'd the same in 2nd and 3rd so it doesn't matter on HP, torque yes

 

I cant say for sure but I have heard our engines are broken in from factory (saves gm money in waranty work from people who beat on their car from day 1)

 

I thought the general consensus is that 4th is the 1:1, and 5th is OD?

 

Sweet numbers Rob! Can't wait to see what you can do with it when tuning is available!

 

Not bad for stock, makes my 250 to the wheels feel a little more believable. Also I noticed that our cars seem to get faster after about 500-1000 miles. Maybe its my dealer gave me 87 octane as my first tank of gas and it took my computer a while to adjust but there was a definate difference from my first couple days with it and a week or two afterwards.

 

4th is not 1:1 at all...its .89 and is only .07 closer to 1:1 than 3rd. the difference in gears wont make much difference.

good numbers though mang!

 

Please do let me know when you begin tuning, I would be very interested in this myself.

I heard something similar when breaking in a car ... but it was more like never be consistant with the top speed and let the car know that it can get up and go every so often

 

Nice numbers... is there a thread where anyone has dyno'd a 2006 SS 2.4L? I'm curious if we're underrated too.

 

Very impressive start Rob! We're looking forward to helping you with this project, and it's going to be FUN.

 

you need to start a thread in the lounge with your cars in it ...welcome to the site ....

 

Is that Ed or Scott?

 

Ive redlined my car about like 20 times and its about a week old lol.. doesnt seem hurt, shouldnt be anyways jsut breaks in faster

 

Will do.


Thank you!


Just Scott.

 

Is that really right now? That seems pretty tuff to believe that you put that much down to the wheels COMPLETELY stock. Isnt 205 h.p. off the crank stock and your saying you got 230 WHP stock. That must be 270 h.p. crank(ruff guess) depending what a manual gets for drivetrain loss 18-22%?

 

hey new kid! lol


these cars are serivously underrated from the factory...just look around the site and let the light find you...

 

205 Hp is the rated power GM gave the car... most people have been dynoing the car with MORE hp at the wheels than 205 hp, hence GM has underrated the car...

Can't wait to dyno mine!

 

There are now dozens of people that have dynoed on dynojets and mustang dynos that are dynoing over 205 at the wheels.

 

-LOL
Thats great if they serivously underrated them then; It will make my gf much happier since she will be getting one this coming summer once she has college finished. I figured I better check out whats going on with the aftermarket items so I dont get bombarded with questions & I want's from her right before we buy her car.

 

So what times are people putting down stock, it must be pretty good then.
