Dyno Runs at Altered Atmosphere 12-15-04

[Chiketkd]

Did two runs on the awd dynojet dyno at Altered Atmosphere in Gaithersburg, MD.

My engine mods as listed in my sig are: STI panel filter, removal of my exhaust resonator and modification of my intake resonator (4.11 gears help bring 16% more torque to the wheels, but the dyno cancels out their benefit).

Temp was 38* outside and probably around 45* in the area where my car was dyno'd. Ran on 93 pump gas from Shell and both my alternator/PS and A/C belts were hooked up. Results are shown below:

(Peak values)
Ist run: 164.5 hp & 172.1 ft-lbs
2nd run: 165.1hp & 173.4 ft-lbs

Graph of my second run is shown below:


Based on a 30% loss in the drivetrain, this puts my flywheel power at around 236hp. All of this gain cannot be attributed to the high flow panel filter, but my numbers definitely show that removing the stock exhaust resonator doesn't harm top-end power or torque...

I'll finish up with a pic of my car on the rollers...
