Dynoed the Chevelle today - Lateral-g Forums

**camcojb** · #1 08-28-2009, 02:15 PM

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...........

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!

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

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

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.
