Today, there was an event here in town called the Dyno Drags...held at a shop called Dynoedge, basically it is a full day event of dynoing lots of cars. It is a type of competition, not in who can make the most power, but in guessing what your 3rd pull hp will be (based on what you ran for #1 and #2 runs)...whoever is the closest wins 10% of the money collected for the day (not too bad!!!)

anyway, i didn't win, but I got a membership card for the 600+ club (keep in mind, so that we don't start any crazy altitude debates, I am at 5500ft altitude, we lose approx 8-10hp on a turboed vehicle, so subtract a bit from my SAE corrected numbers to get the actual)

with that said, here is the dyno graph, Before anybody points out the A/F after 6500rpm..that has been corrected, I started to lean out there and was able to correct it by adding some fuel to that area of the map:

So, this is the same boost that I ran and previously made 550rwhp, 548tq and had a massive boost leak due to a torn silicone hose coming off of the passenger side turbo-wasting my precious life giving boost ..I ran 101 octane here, with similar timing as before (so I did not get aggressive with the timing-fuel choice was more for extra safety precaution purposes)
My numbers:
615rwhp 575tq @16.5psi
Me (happy from the huge gains) and Brody from SPEEDLAB (making a special face)


Some other cool cars from today...
From Ford:




From Dodge:
Supercharged 800+rwhp!!!





Outside, much, much earlier today...


Keep you posted on newest kills

 

Very nice. That's awesome. One day i'll be there, one day WAY in time.

Now change your sig.... 500 is not right anymore.

 

Done and done

 

man thats great! must be fun to drive. you should have showed that viper whos the boss.

 

Congrats!

 

"Thats done and dusted".......outta' sight!

 

Good Job...get that thing to the track!

 

Congrats, Todd!!!!

 

Congrats Todd but you totally deserve it. All that hard work has payed off. I heard that Viper was running 800whp?

 

yah, the red one... i heard those make that power pretty easily, having 10 cylinders and all
sorry i diddn't see you there, sucks you had to work, wanted to see you represent for the Z brotha's out here!

Great numbers Bro, do you plan on going for more or staying right where you at now? Man I know there is a couple of ya'll in the 600+ range and I would love to see a VID of ya'll in action. I can't imagine what it would feel like to have all that power. Hell I couldn't even imagine how it looks in action. Hard work and determination finally paid off!

 

the best way to describe the power...1st gear: OMG 2nd gear: WTF 3rd gear: "Did you just see that?" 4th gear" "I can't believ I'm in 4th" 5th gear- Spedometer moves as quick as the RPM's, gear is over before you know it, and by that point you are jail material! 6th: haven't been that crazy yet to max that one out!!!

 

So when is Brodie going to have a dyno event @ his shop?

Congrats on the numbers.

 

Couldn't have done it without these guys, Brody is the genious in finding out what is wrong when it is wrong

...and Brody, I still want you to mathmetically calculate, based on my power gain, how many cfm of air was leaking out of that torn silicone hose

 

great question...Brody?

 

Congratulations! Now maybe you'll be the next 600hp Z in Turbo Mag. Were any of the "known" high HP car owners surprised by your numbers?

Ron

 

DAmn Todd!!! Congrats!

 

Ernie (going deep) and I had a photo shoot with Sport Z Magazine several months ago, they keep promising it will be in the "next issue"...come on SZM!!! get on the ball!!!!!

when my car ran, as i was told, everybody ran over to the computer screen to see what i was putting down...lots of spectators, it was fun!

 

what kind of tires are you running, im using brand new 275/35-19 BFG KDWs, and they break loose with my weak 400ish hp in 1st thru 3rd, so you cant be getting any traction.
