Dissapointing Dyno Numbers
#13
Yeah, i have to say those numbers are way off. Was this on a dynojet? A tuning issue could explain a lot of it, but it would have to be really out of wack to only get those numbers. The low torque numbers could definantly be the result of a slipping clutch too.
BTW, how were those cams installed? Were they installed at the advertised 112 intake centerline with you cam gears degreed? That could be part of the equation as well.

I have a slipping clutch and with mods in sig i put down 250rwhp and 263rwtq...but i could hear my car's clutch slipping on the dyno. But yea, slipping clutch and tune might be a combination of why your numbers are low.

dyno numbers dont mean anything...ive seen cars dyno 20rwhp less on one dyno than another...as long as she performs, thats what matters man...usually dynojets read high, but i saw an example of a blown escalade that gained 25rwhp on a mustang dyno over a dynojet...theres too many factors to get hung up on just numbers...you can go back to that same dyno in different weather and make diff numbers...dont be too hard on yourself, driving it is where those mods will add up....dynos are awesome as a tuning tool, other than that theyre fun to play with, but have no real value when it comes to performance

But to my first point, if this thing hasn't been tuned since the cams, lay off it because you're probably going pretty lean up top.
