Dyno Numbers Are In : A Lesson In Power Under The Curve
Well, first the bad news. No RWD numbers. The car lit up like a Christmas tree with PSM/ABS/CEL. It did not like RWD. I had my laptop and cleared codes , but no luck. So we strapped it down in AWD and let 'er rip... and rip it did. the AWHP numbers were 510.8HP and AWTQ was 565.4TQ. Pretty strong torque curve... guess that explains the 128+ trap. Using EVO's loss factor of 18.5% for an AWD run the FWHP is 627HP and 694TQ. Kevin's programming is phenomenal. HP is great but the useable TQ tells the tale. I have posted the run log as well in 100rpm increments.Flywheel TQ at 3K RPM is 465 and at 3500RPM it is 584.The dyno tech also put in a thermocouple in the IC inlet to measure the heat Delta. 67deg to start 180 degrees 10 sec later. I held my hand over the inlet and it felt like a hairdryer. This was my street 1.25+ bar file with 4 gal of GT104 unleaded. The scary part of this whole day is the knowledge that Kevin, as we speak, is uploading my 1/4 mile, 100 octane file that can only be used 1320ft at a time- no street, no roadcourse... just the 1/4 mile into my Pocket Programmer. The results speak for themselves. Kevin

It is a thing of beauty that it comes in so hard and strong early and IS NOT peaky!!!
very nice, I bet it feels nice "underfoot"
congrats on what looks like a perfect union of turbos AND programming!

Unfortunately I know enough about looking at the curves to know very little. I was wondering what happens at 4500 rpm , but in general they look fairly smooth. The torque curve looks fantastic. Maybe I should talk to this Kevin guy?
Congrats Kevin

There is no doubting that these rollers enjoyed their workout
Edit
Kevin, you even beat my "personal best"
