Dynoed the Chevelle today
 

Took Malitude over to Driving Ambition in Rancho Cordova today to have the car dynoed. Shad and Brian were great, super friendly and professional. They use a Dynopack chassis dyno that actually bolts to the rear axles (after removing the tires). They're real nice as they have very good loading capabilities, take up very little floor space, and eliminate any tire spin issues.

Made a few pulls. The first few were at my street 14 psi and unfortunately those stopped the dyno due to too much wheel torque (high torque engine with auto trans can cause issues). It still made 722 rwhp and 784 rwtq at only 4800 rpms, and then the runs were aborted. I'm pretty confident that boost level would have netted 850-900 rwhp, and that's not bad for a 91 octane setup.

We later dropped the boost back to not exceed the torque capabilities. 7-8 psi made 620 rwhp or so and 685 rwtq. Overall real happy with the results, no broken parts........... :D

784 rwtq at 4800 rpm?????!!!!! Holy crap batman!!! That just rocks!! I wish the dyno had let you pull it all the way. That is one hell of a set up you have!:hail: :hail: :hail:

Jody you gotta love exceeding the capacity of the dyno in street trim. Is your chest still pumped up? Nice. :cool:

That thing is a monster.

Impressive in "street" trim :unibrow: . Now put in on another dyno and turn the wick up :rofl: .

John

Very nice Jody.
At that on pump gas too! NICE!:thumbsup: :cheers:

Let me know when I can come over and we can run it with my butt-dyno. :P

Darn good numbers for sure. I bet the shop had a laugh you were exceeding the capability of their equipment... did you do the pulls with the torque converter locked?

One of these days I need to start working on my junk again. All the new LS2 stuff is sitting in a big pile right in front of the car... unfortunately my motivation isn't in that pile.

Killer!!:thumbsup:

Nice numbers...and still climbing!! That is one monster!! :cheers: :hail:

Okay -- With those kind of numbers and his chest all sticking out - I'll put $5 towards a man bra!!

Jody -- EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA is about all I can say!!

Oh -- I almost forgot......
:ttiwop:


OR VIDEO !!!! Come on let us see it!!! Down on my knees....

Wow Jody, anytime you spike the dyno graph at a 70 Deg angle and dont change much is badass:hail: lol :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Damn Jody...Impressive!:hail: :thumbsup: :bow:

Holy Moly Jody that is wickedly awesome. What a tire destroyer! :D

Very impressive numbers for sure. You've done a killer job putting that motor together and tuned. :thumbsup:

Wow, Jody, that is crazy. Must idle at what 50 mph?:thumbsup:

Holy crap! I would love to go for a ride in that thing.

thanks guys, I really appreciate it.

Jody

thanks guys!

I don't think the converter would handle being locked.............. :faint:

thanks guys. No video, went by myself, I don't even have a video camera.......... :willy:

If you ever need anyone to run a camera PM me:thumbsup: I should have one soon.

Awesome :hail:

Jody, bring that out to Sac Raceway end of Sept when a few of us from Gearhead plan on running. That thing must be able to hit some serious mph! :unibrow:
