Where is this at?

usually a "good" dyno tune will yield 10RWHP on the dynojet for a 4.0L.... they shop I hang out around tuned a CAI/catback 4.0L and got it to mustaer just around 200RWHP @ 225lbs tq on the drums
plus the tune gets rid of ALOT on the new stangs.. IE electronic TB lag etc. etc.

meh.. i dunno.. even if he was a bad driver, that's still a 13 second car, easy mid 14 with a crappy driver. how much power did you actually get from that tune?

Yea, but you're supercharged, thats cheating. GMC Syclone, 360lbft from a 4.3L, 83.7lbft / liter. Oh and the Buick GNX, 360lbft from a 3.8L, 94.7lbft / liter.
I guess GM is good at producing motors with very good levels of torque monstrosity.

for the people with questions about the mods he has, a good cai/tune can yield about 20rwhp and about the same torque sometimes more. An axle-back exhaust yields about 7-8rwhp with duals doing about the same. with his mods people usually see about 200rwhp/225rwtq ish. Some see up to 210rwhp/240rwtq. Depends on the condtitions and who does the tune and if it is a manual or auto. The person that originally made the torque monster thing up was wolfey and personally, i thought he was an idiot a loooooonng time ago. I can beleive the race though because with this guys mods mid 14's have been done and with a bad launch a z can run a mid 14 pretty easily and if it only goes up to 80, the 4.0 will have less of a disadvantage. Good kill, but all 4.0 owners should know if the z had a good driver it would have won.

you realize those are both turbo cars right? lol.

To add to my earlier post, the Jaguar XJ200 made 473lbft of torque from a 3.5L twin turbo sixxer, 135lbft / liter. Of coarse all that power comes at a price and that price is some of the worst turbo-lag ever.

didn't that come from a story about a guy racing a z too?

But unlike him, I'm not going to trash the 350Z because one guy, one time failed to launch it properly.
If you guys think a bad launch makes the Z a mid 14 second car, then thisracewas fairlyaccurate-- because my car is a mid 14 second car. 14.6, to be exact.
VMP's tune, intake, and a single GT take-off muffler were dyno-proven toshow 205hp and 243 ft-lbs of torque, at the wheels.

And to Whipplepower-- why a thumbs down to my duals without a crosspipe?

Yeah, that was Wolfey2K who created the now infamous "torque monster" name, against a 350Z too.
