Did my first dyno ever at Stillin day last weekend...
I never did dyno my '96. So this was my first dyno ever. I have a '99 Cali Spec., 80,000 miles, all preventative maintenance current, 91 octane gas, V2 with 3.25 pulley and absolutely no other mods whatsoever (for now). 3 pulls for $50 (they did 4 pulls on mine for some reason).
Max Power = 238.32, Max Torque = 224.86
Max Power = 230.62, Max Torque = 204.61
Max Power = 227.20, Max Torque = 203.93
Max Power = 229.30, Max Torque = 204.26
Does this sound right to you guys? I think it does. It's basically what I was expecting.
My calcs: 190HP stock crank + 80HP V2 w/ 3.61 + (10HP per pulley size reduction x 2 size pulley size reductions) = 290 HP crank.
290 - 20% = 232 HP wheels.
I'm pretty happy. No where to go but up.
I think there is a video of it floating somewhere in the west coast forum. If anyone cares, I'll link the video and I can also scan and post the dyno sheet if anyone requests.
I will be going to the track on the 24th so I will let you guys know (1/8 mile only).

When I spoke to Adam at Stillen on Stillen day, he said he (Stillen) sold 5 SC's last week! He said they usually sell 5 in a year!

I was filming all the runs, which I will post shortly. Anyways, I was estimating about 250-255 HP to the wheels. The reason why it seems alittle low is that they had NO fan over the Hood, Because it's a FWD car & the dyno was setup for RWD. (The back of the dyno was against a fence) So FWD cars got no big fan. They had these little ones that blew onto the radiator, but the first run they weren't even on! & the other 3 the guy had them setup bad, where they barely even blew on the bumper! So his car was sitting there all hot & getting heat soaked after the 1st run.

I am confused that you are confused. I clearly state that the pulley I have installed is a 3.25".

that seems a little low to me, I know he has lots more mods than you but Jay25 put down somewhere in the neighborhood of 320 with that pulley, I doubt some bolt ons would make a 100 hp difference, but I could be wrong.

A few of you are saying my numbers look low. I think I would be more concerned if my calculations did not support the ratings I got. Do you guys agree with the rough calc. I showed in the first post?
Unfortunately James was not able to dyno that day due to a bad clutch. It would have made for a nice comparison since he has exactly what I have but a full Cattman set-up, Y-Pipe - back. He is also 5MT so his drivetrain losses would have been less.
Sure, I would have liked higher numbers but for now I am not overly alarmed. I have a lot more plans - I have only had the car for 3-4 months.

I'd like to see how they react when the car loses power because of them...

I don't know Chunger....to me your numbers still calc out just like mine did. Please correct me if my logic is wrong.
My rough calcs for you:
190 HP crank stock + 80 HP SC w/ 3.6" + 15 HP Y-pipe + 10 HP CAI = 295 HP
295 HP - 15% (manual transmission) = 250.75 wheel HP

I'm not much into formulas (esp. hp per mod types LOL)... it's what hits the ground that counts... I wouldn't worry about it too much... As long as the car has no problems it's all good.
