snagged a 169.6 @ the wheels as the best...

i went in lookin for 170 at the wheels, pretty much got it.

now i'm catchin slack on the 'tex that it's low numbers.

anybody?

you all should know what i have done now....but if not....

TT 268's
GIAC 268 chip file
hacked 2.9 wanna-be
K&N cone
no cat
2.5 side exit exhaust
L/W flywheel (steel)
3.94 R&P
diff

that's everything that revs and spins.

pull done in 4th.

well, i didn't get the run file, they just printed me off the results on paper.

it was a dynojet 2wd dyno...i'm sure it's a few years old, as i've known about the place for a few years.

as for the "test pipe"...i made the exhaust. i took a flange from a cat, welded it to a peice of pipe that goes straight into a headman headers glasspack, goes to the end of the tunnel, turns left 90*, then 180's straight into the "summit racing muffler" (white box version of a flowmaster chambered style muffler), then out the side of the car. all the bends are mandrel, but i couldn't guarantee that they all connect seamlessly, as i did the shit in my driveway w/ a sawzall and my lincoln wannabe welder and a big magnet to put the pipes together for me...

it's not that i feel bad...as i went into hoping for 170 @ the wheels...i dont really pay attention to what other people are running for power on the vortex, i merely had somebody make a comment that said "wow, for those mods, that's low"...

i saw a website where a guy was puttin up dyno's for VR's (www.vr6dyno.com)...there was one on there that was similar setup to mine, and made almost 180....but it's with DSR or Schrick cams i believe...

either way, i'm happy with the car. it's fast enough for me, and sounds fucking sick.

i'm just savin up for julians head and block setup, i'll rehone the block, re-ring it, throw it back together w/ the head, put my cams in it, w/ a few extra exhaust goodies and rock that till i can swing a charger for it all. :)

i figured it'd go fast w/o it...and faster w/ it.

i could whip a pulley out at work in a night to up the boost a tad that i'm sure is gonna disappear w/ bigger ports, bigger intake, and bigger bores...not that i'd be much, but it'd be worth a smaller pulley. :)

after reading all this is my blower set up w/ cam's head work, ported manifolds, high flow cat and such going to make any real HP#'s?..... i mean if im making like 200whp w/ all the cash i pumped into my motor ill be realy upset......

and that is why i think i like the idea...makes it THAT much more of a PITA for me to blow the fucking thing up. :)

That is pretty much where Im at right now, the only other non oem parts on my car is the exhaust which is a 2.25 eurosport a few years old, so I wouldnt worry about not making power Jess.

you're car is just strong though.. before all that you dynoed 10hp more than i did with cams.... asshole.

when we did the dyno pulls for the test pipe numbers in my car the guy pulled in 3rd. then we asked him to pull in 4th it was about 2 hp difference... nothing to sweat over but vortex kids are little faggots about that shit.  fuck them.     

Good power but only ok traps, hopefully it was that misfire. Or that dyno reads WAY high. For 3rd/4th I always dyno in 4th just habit doing some turbo cars. On a FWD car that's never 'direct drive' it doesn't make shit for difference. Plugging in a 1.8T open element intake temp sensor is worth a few HP on the dyno .. almost a consistent 5whp, but keep that to yourselves. Haha.

What's the car weight? Should be an easy 13.99 pass if you're 2700lbs or less at that power level.
