Very Low 3.5 Numbers
Very Low 3.5 Numbers
Got the car dynoed. I currently have tilleys or emmas 1997 maxima with the 3.5L JWT cams, obx headers and Evo catless catback.
216tq @ 4700 196-200 from 2800-3500 200-205 3500-4000 205-216 4000-4700 then dives down to about 170 by 5700
199hp @ 4950 pretty much linear line but then tops and stays flatfrom 4950-5700
The car is tuned to run really lean so it gets better gas mileage. (28mpg highway) Tilley had it tuned this way for emily since she was driving it alot. Its previous numbers were something like 238whp and 225tq. Tilley is going to retune the car for more power since it really looses it after 4700.

The lack of more information in this thread is depressing.
1.) How 'lean' is it? During normal driving, lean means >14.7:1. I say this because you state it was done to get better gas mileage, but this would have no relevance here because the ECU is set to keep as close to stoich as possible, so 'tuning' lean in the sense as you described has no meaning. On a more understandable note, if you meant lean (such as 14.0:1 2 WOT) this could be a cuplrit of the low power output. Domino affect,lean = high temps-->pinging-->ECU says retard timing--> power is greatly affected.
But I think we all know right now that there is something wrong. What's needed is data. AFR, timing, runfiles.
What type of dyno was it on? Ambient conditions?
