Default Usable Power 8v 3.0L



This is a dyno chart sent to us by a customer last week from a 3.0L 8v we built for him. The torque curve and HP shows what real under the curve usable power looks like. It's running a LR Super 65 turbo and at only 15 psi of boost. It's a track car, and with this power, and that boost, it should be as reliable as they get.

Turbo diesel-like torque curve ... That must be me a boring drive.

Still, congrats for the numbers.

Rob, you had a nice torque curve. This is even a little better. Yours was 18 psi, and this is 3 psi less! Goes to show what a few more years experience does.

Don't Dyno Dynamics run about 12% low, too?

Not bad.
