Do it! The more comparisons the better for everyone!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

OK, got my appointment for just 3 pulls at MAP for tomorrow at 3:30 :)

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

^ in a way, I think it helps put slightly more perspective on things. Some people never dyno at DB, or LSE back in the day, to know just how different these two dyno's are. So, for those whom are strictly MAP dyno-type, this will show em.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Exactly. It does get a little bit annoying when people tell you that you should have made way more. Then you tell them the dyno reads low, they shrug it off as an excuse. Hopefully this will just be a little more proof. Ideally I should have done both dynos in the same night, but oh well.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I was going to actually, but we ran late last night. So, here's how I came up with stuff..Andrew told me his car make exactly 18% more on both power and torque. I asked Shane what MAra's car made..480..and remember, 563 at map. Hill got just over 500 on db, 589 at map..everything seems to point at 18%..so, I expect 630's from your car tomorrow son!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Car wasn't running too well last night. Today I went and checked the gap on all my plugs. They were all still at .020. I decided to bump them down to .018. I also left my spark plug cover off after I regapped the plugs. Took the car for a spin and it's running beautiful.

I'm not sure yet, but the issues I had last night I'm thinking may be 1 or 2 of these things:

1) Cold weather making me run lean
2) Plugs needed to be gapped smaller
3) Spark Plug cover squishing the wires too close together.

Those were really the only 3 things that changed from last night and this morning, and the car is running good now.

I'm going to leave the spark plug cover off for awhile and see if the issue ever comes back. If it does come back, then I'm thinking it may be the cold weather. If the problem doesn't come back, I think I'll put it back on and see if it comes back as soon as I put it back on.

I'm hopping on MAP's dyno in 2hrs to get a good Dyno Dynamics vs Dyno Jet comparison.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Well did my 3 pulls at MAP today. I saw a 16% difference in the 2 dynos. Also, mine is still miss-firing, but it revved cleanly to the point where it was making max power anyway. So you'll notice the graph only goes to 7k, because that's where I started missfiring.

So the guesstimate of about 15-18% sounds about right on.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Very interesting, I always wondered how the spool would be different on the 2 different types of dyno's on a higher hp car. Looks like the DD spools about 200 rpm sooner because it puts more load on the engine. Nice job brandon!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Nice! So now do you tell people it makes 628 or 541?

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Damn that is a huge difference.. More than I thought!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

You tell people 628. No questions about it.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

All that work paid off B!! Niiice power, ill be needing a ride and ill supply my own diaper as well.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Bawlah!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

^lol.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I love your made up words!

Great powerband Brandon.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

edit: jk, read what you wrote.

Did Anthony's car curse pass on over to you so you also cannot rev anymore? :-o

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I'm going to consider it at 541 for the most part, because that is the dyno I plan on returning to mostly in the future. But if someone thinks it's a weak number because it's lower then what they expected, then I can pull this one out for comparisson.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I would just tell them to come and see how weak 541 is. But incase they wanted to know its about 600 DJ.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

My wife's was right around 16% also. ~485awhp DD to 563awhp DJ

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Well since I seem to be pushing coolant a little bit, I ordered up a set of L19's. They should be here Monday. I'm not installing them right away, but just want to have them on hand for when the next time the head comes off, I can just slap them right in.

Also, after a lot of thought and IM conversations, I purchased a new ETS FMIC :) I got their Race core which is supposed to be good up to 980 CFM, which is about 100 more then I'm currently pushing.

Also been doing a lot of research regarding ignition amplifiers. At this point, I have no clue which one to get.
