Raj:

I'd say that is pretty healthy. What kind of Dyno? Mine was on a Dynajet.

They were done on a Mustang dyno.

Mustangs are known to show lower numbers than Dynojet so I am not sure what numbers the car would make on a Dynojet.
Like I said earlier, I was very pleased with the results. I plan to remain stock for sometime. Being very careful where I spend my $$$. Only want mods that actually work.

Raj,

As you know, dyno results will vary due to any number of variables, including ambient temps, etc. Mike's "run" was performed outdoors on a flatbed mounted unit. As a comparison, Ken's 944S racecar which tested at 180 rwhp on the Paddock mustang dyno only 2 weeks earlier, showed 188 rwhp on the same dyno that Mike's car was on at Mid-Ohio!

Rich, so if I get this correctly, on the same dyno as the one used at Mid-Ohio with similar conditions, I would be making even more power, kool .
Thanks for sharing that bit.
Regards.

Great work, guys. The shop where you had the dyno test done seems very qualified-I guess doing this day in, day out, on street and race cars must result in accurate numbers.

Damian, to tell you the truth, I really didn't want to post any results but people asked so I responded.

My car on a mustang dyno produced similar results to a dynajet. The set-up, the day the type of correction will all have an effect.

Mike, I understand that there are a lot of factors that can effect the final outcome of the results. Fortunately, we are dealing with a shop that happens to service quite a few water pumpers, is the north east regional rep for NASA and knows what its doing.
My response was to the owner getting an additional 8rwhp on his own car which I am sure has seen plenty of dyno time in his shop.
I knew this would happen once the numbers were shared and for that reason I would have preferred to lay low.
Bottomline, I know my car is in excellent tune, and is performing very well. I have focused on keeping the car in great tune instead of spending $$ on mods. So far it seems to be working well.
Regards.

Hi Raj, Sorry for replying so late...But id like to thank you for setting up this wonderful day at paddock. I had a great time and was very pleased as you were with the dyno results. I hope to get together real soon for the "test and fun" event.
Jason the sausage was awsome! and Rich it was great meeting you as well. I think you have an awsome racecar, love that color.
A big thanks to Ken and the boys at Paddock, not only for sponsoring the even but for installing my M030 front sways, At Dyno Day! These guys are a class act and their new shop under construction should prove to be even better. I hope to work with them on some MODS soon and look forward to meeting up again really soon.

John,

Enjoyed meeting you too. Hey, what's nicer than a white 968 coupe? Ans: A white 986 cabrio! Riviera blue ain't bad either!!

Tell your buddy that Ken's M3 Coupe is still for sale.

Ciao.

John, it was our pleasure to have you join us. There were quite a few friends that couldn't make it so we will have a Round II soon and try accomodating everyone.
Regard.
