little help needed
little help needed
I entered into the NOPI Nationals this year, and dyno'd my car. My results have me really confused. It was a Mustang Dyno outdoors with no fan or anything. i don't have the sheets in front of me but i'll do my best to remember everything
FYI - I have a 95gxe auto with a budjet y-pipe, FrankenCar Intake, and a generic ebay muffler on the stock b-pipe. runs were made in third w/ OD on.
Numbers:
First Pull
119.6hp @ 108mph - 202lb/ft @ can't remember
Second Pull
121.4hp at 109mph - 207lb/ft of torque
Now here's where it gets interesting, and why i'm questioning it. first off the dyno operator said that they weren't measuring torque because they were missing some sensors and stuff. there was an SRT-4 that went right after me with a dyno sheet from 2 days prior off of a dynojet showing he put down 299hp to the wheels. on the dyno he put down 160hp and 302lb/ft of torque. he wass more upset about his numbers than me, for good reason :P . i go park my car and go back over to the dyno area. when i get over there, there was a civic hatch with nitrous and a big turbo getting ready to dyno. he dyno'd at 242hp and 453lb/ft of torque. i was in absolute shock. he was yelling at the dyno operator like crazy. he reached into his glove box and pulled out a few dyno sheets with him putting down 450-465hp. this got me thinking. by comparing the numbers those guys got to the numbers they put down on a dynojet, and the numbers they were getting from the mustang dyno, it appeared as though the torque numbers were the hp numbers. now having said that, i know there's no way in hel my car has 207hp with the few mods i have, but i will say it's alot faster than other maxes i've ridden in with similar mods. i used to beat stock 00-01's before my y-pipe. My car used to run consistent 9.4-9.6 in the 1/8 at around 75-76mph before my 18's if that helps.
Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.

those numbers are totally screwy... if you wan't to be able to compare your numbers to most other maximas who have dynod you need to dyno on a dynojet. it's not perfect but its a helluvalot better than those #s they gave you. i wouldn't trust those #s as far as i could throw them.
