Dyno'd the stock 5AT today. Right where I expected it to be - including the lean A/F

How much lower is that compared to a stock 6mt? Automatics have a huge power loss due to the tranny.. cause dang those numbers really show it.

 

That's pretty much a myth on modern auto's.. Only about 10 less than an average manual on a Z. I wouldn't call that a huge power loss.

Who cares about the dyno. Look at my stock #s

 

What's your point? I'm not a dyno sheet racer. The point was to have a baseline to compare against as mods are added. I also want to make sure the A/F is kept in check.

That looks like a low-end rating for the auto... I've seen them closer to 230 in whp, and around 220 in wtq. For comparo, my baseline is a low-end number for a manual -- 230whp/230wtq.

 

phh, my stock 5AT dynoed at 234/228

dont spread bull about ATs being slower than MTs. With the Z, it isnt true at all.

That dyno probably just reads low!

 

I see a lot of people throwing around numbers without stating the correction factor. I can throw up my STD corrected graph with no smoothing and show 230hp right now. SAE + 5 smoothing on WinPEP is going to be the lowest reading, but it is what I have always based my vehicles on.

Also, that was the 3rd run in a back to back to back. The first 2 were wasted because they didn't have their tach lead on right and the operator ended the runs around 5800 RPM

hmm thats like 60 hp loss

i drive a A/T as well... i still run 13's bone stock

 

Werd, thats why I dont even bother putting stuff on here. Nice truck btw. My buddy has one same color. He took those ricey looking tail lights and painted them, looks killer now.

 

The Lightning is my baby. The Z is actually my wife's car. The L puts down 435 SAE rwhp/513tq and I run mid-12's with it on Goodyear F1's.. Going slicks this year and a Roush lower kit is on order. Modding two vehicles at the same time really stretches the budget!

 

STL Lightning, picture of your Z was taken at the track. What kind of times did you get if and when you ran it? I got a 13.89 on a Gtech/Pro. Good for baseline testing, but not like actually taking it to the track.

 

My wife drove it and it was her first time really. She got a 14.33 @ 96 with a 2.3 60ft. That was leaving off idle. I'm sure with practice and launching at a decent RPM she could run near what your Gtech is showing.

I dyn0ed what my sig says..
