Going to the Dyno on Thursday to get the car tuned up and see what the numbers are. Question is, for those of you who have done this before, what if anything should I be aware of or do to get the most out of this? Anything I should let the shop know? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Clinton

 

be prepared to have alot of dummy lights on after you get off the dyno. they will go away after a few minutes of driving. i had them do pulls in third and fourth gears.

 

just out of curiousity, why not in 2nd gear were you can lock the trans in that gear?

 

thanks 01s anyone else?

 

dyno pulls should be in the gear that has the closest 1:1 ratio I believe which wouldnt be 2nd gear

 

- 3rd gear pull
- VSA off
- boost cut checked (e-manage)

you should be dynoing around 320whp depending on the dyno. good luck.

 

I was thinking 2nd gear because it's the only gear that you can

1. lock the transmission into
2. Do not get any false spikes due to TQ converter lockup..

 

because that's just how it is. or at least that is what every car i or anyone else i have ever heard of has dynoed.

 

it will lock in any gear, but it depends on the RPM you start to add load. i would suggest starting to dyno at 3000rpm in 3rd.

 

thanks everyone. So VSA off, third starting at 3000, be prepaired for some dummy lights, and what else? I believe someone said to disconnect the EMS but I never hooked it up because of the e-managment. Any light on this?

 

TQ converter will NOT lock in first or second gear...3rd gear and up it will lock depending upon engine operating conditions.....

 

off i go....wish me luck....lol
