WTF: 181whp, 173lbs tq??????????
(#'s maybe off since the dyno is crumpled in my car from being pissed)
I went to a shop in Toronto called Redline where another club had a group thing going today.
I pulled 181whp (which is almost stock!!!!) and 175whp torque. INSANE. These guys do not know how to dyno an auto car. "Has to be done in D". Do i track my car on D so I could careless, this caused insane torque converter lock up. I'd rather pay and go to a reputable shop next. plus they gave me a print out of my torque curve not my HP to show the drop off. Plus the Torque curve was bouncing 400 at even 756lbs!!!!! How stupid is that. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Also they were saying they weren't connecting to the coils properly. I should have easily seen at least a 230 dyno. I'll post the plots later.
They didn't give me my HP plot just torque so I emailed them to get a proper graph.
Now I'm embarrased. Honda guys had a good laugh at me.
Sorry I'm a newb to dyno's but

I see you have a vb mod are you able to hold it in 2nd gear, if so dyno that way, if not take it somewhere else
my buddy dyno'd a auto and they had a hard time getting the car to go wot without shifting

This is another reason I love my Shift_Fast_3 mod - lock it in third and dyno!

Its easy to dyno an auto, people make a big deal out of it. When we did mine, we put it in D with O/D off. Brought it up to 65 i believe and eased into the gas to WOT. Dont just mash the gas. It never kicked down for me.
When O/D is off in 3rd gear the tourqe converter locks up i believe.

Also another thing was after telling the guy, he didn't activate the oil pressure cutoff and I had to tell him again.
Hopefully I get to DL soon and get proper numbers.

Yes i agree with Neal. The first time i dynoed my car, i put down almost the exact thing 182whp/173wtq. Given my MEVI was tied open, i had also done 12-14 back to back runs.
Came home very dissapointed, i knew the numbers couldnt have been right when i ran a 14.2@99 on street tires..went to a differant dyno (Dynojet 248C still) and put down 197whp/190wtq.
We all know your engine is capable of 220+ WHP through an auto!!
