3.5L preliminary dyno curve -- not broken in
I hope this works -- I received an "anonymous" dyno of a 3.5Liter engine pull. The user wishes to remain anonymous, and I got a note that the engine WAS NOT broken in (had about 350 miles on it).
Once again, the area under the curve should be considered (in other words the broad curve of power being made).
So, here it is:

That is only 8 HP more than Mike's and 10 lb.ft more than Mike's!!!
I am not sure if one can justify the additional $3,000 more for a marginal improvemet of just 10 HP at the wheels.
Overall that is 318 HP assuming stock is 200HP at the wheels.

Not bad....not too good though for the price. Stroking the engine with MDX parts obviously isn't worth the money..IMO...13-20 more hp for what $5000...breaking in or not...it'll get only a few more horses..maybe you're better off getting headwork....or just spend your money on the SC when it comes out.

Do consider that the engine isn't broken in *and* I didn't do an overlay of the graphs.
So, its worth looking at...
BTW -- I got more speed pickup from my wheels than I did from the CAI and headers.
(and no I can't prove it...)

Also, compare the 2 graphs in a good image viewer, you will see that Mike is making about 180 HP at 5000 rpm and the 3.5L is making 200 HP at 5000 rpm.
I'm talking about area under the curve....

Eric,
You are the best Automotive engineer on the board. SO what shoud I say: Lighter rims....>>> easy to spin harder, UHP Summer tire... >>> more grip, overall less loss of traction... I noted before more HP no traction little or no improvement in ET.

Finally, I got asked if my puchase of the sways, headers, and CAI AEM was worth it and...
The price about $2000 with labor
Sitting on the butt of a WRX like glue -- Priceless!
So, I'm quite happy with the "package" of parts.
I thought every was interested in the "dyno" curve (although it is preliminary), but there is an idea that gets missed.
If you make power, across the whole power band, rather than just a 1000-2000 rpm, you are going to get better acceleration (unless you have a CVT).

I said 180 HP @ 5000 RPM! not ft-lb (or lb-ft)... Compare the HP at 5000, and be carefull cause it is hard to see the red...

So, Mike seems to have one of the best (if not the best curve going)
BTW -- his curve was not done with the lightened wheels or tires (in case someone asks) *or* perhaps Mike will correct me...
So -- that's it. At some point, there will be some 1/4 miles times, etc. and everyone can make some decisions about what is worth what....
