Runs need to be done in 4th or 3rd. Check the ECU for codes, there is a sticky in the 4th gen forum that tells you how to check the codes.

Who the heck dynos on 2nd gear? If you have a 5spd you dyno on 4th gear, if auto you dyno on 3rd. Those are the gears that are closest to 1:1 ratio.

Dynoing on a lower gear will make it SEEM as if you have less WHP, so next time you go, dyno on the correct gear because you can't compare your #s against others, since no one dynos on 2nd gear.

Actually, I thought dyno's in lower gears show HIGH TQ numbers?

Did you go to mac? most dyno shops in colorado actually kinda know there stuff so im guessing they didnt do a second gear pull. I would have to say that it looks normal. The fact that you dyno'd about what a stock 5 spd would at this elevation, and with similar mods i ran a 15.6. I dont think any thing is wrong with your car.

indeed. I said that on lower gears WHP SEEMS lower, I said nothing about WTQ, which you are right, it will seem higher. At least that is what happened with me when I went to dyno a while ago and I did one 3rd gear run. But even with a lower gear, BOTH the WHP and WTQ are low.

Nas, any updates? any interesting finds?

That does seem very low, i dynoed 50shot as well and i got 217whp and 240wtq. I don kno the bottle pressure either but i gained exacly 50hp. and gained 65lb tq. so i assume the pressure was perfect. I am automatic and was done in 3rd gear. CAI, 2.5 all the way back. udp. 93 oct citgo, 1 step colder ngk.

Hey all, I havnt had time to do anything to the car except a remote bottle opener but im still waiting on bottle heater and gauges... then back to a dyno, I do know the correction factor was 1.264 although I dont know what that correction factor is for, I am still looking into a safc, or just found this http://turboxs.com/more_info.php?ID=192
looks interesting but im not really sure what to do about the car running rich, I wonder if it runs rich in all gears or just the one that was dyno'd?

at WOT, if ur car is running rich i think it will run rich at any gear. my a/f was also rich, specially during the nitrous pulls. i was between 11.5 and 12.08.
