went to the dyno tonight
stock 944 with 140k on it. 80psi compresion on number 3 cylinder.
mustang dyno. got 114rwhp and 117rwtq. convert that to dynojet numbers and that would be around 130rwhp wich i guess is right about where it should be.
tq was very flat. right around 110ft/lbs from 2500 to 6000rpm. a/f ratio was mid 12's wich seems a little rich. low compresion on number 3 didn't seem to hurt anything.
next is puting a emspro(fancy megasquirt) and spending some time on the dyno to see if there is any room for improvement. we are going to do 4 coils and not use the distributor. it might seem odd that i am messing with it but that just how i am and most of the stuff is free or very cheap. dyno time is free, emspro is free , wideband with dash gauge was less than 1/2 price. coil packs are a junkyard item. i will post up some before and after dyno sheets, even if there are no gains with tuning.
probably have to put a turbo on this thing before long. i have to say i really like driving the car. i like the sound of it at wot. i like the way it squats when you get on it. i like the way it is just flat around any corner. now just double the hp and get some better tires under it and it will be even more fun.

Excessive scoring is another bad issue but a quick leakdown will get you going.

our fairmont is a group project that we built to get on pinks. so far we won our class at hotrods dragweek and hope to get on pinks in the spring. this car should be in the magazine in feb or march and then again later for a feature article. check out the pinks aplication video http://1320video.com/pinksapp.php
