Dyno Numbers!!!!!!!!!!!

[2k1AmberR/T]

We're helpful and you can learn a lot here. We do a lot of bashing around here too, so if you come to us saying that your basically stock 318 5 speed club cab truck is going 12.5's in the 1/4 and has way more than 290whp of course you're going to get bashed, you're out of your mind. Although I think we've done enough in this thread already... We should probably take it to the fight club. What you need to do is click on 'User CP' in the upper left hand corner of the website, then on the very left side of the page on the 'control panel' you need to click on 'Group Membership's which is the 3rd link from the bottom. Then you can view all of the special groups on this forum. Click 'join group' for the Fight Club. And then you're done!

i have no business in this thread, but look. no one is going to know the dyno numbers for your truck. it is custom to your vehicle. and the only way for you to know is to go Get the damn thing dyno'd <(SP?). a 3.90 rear will help your bottom end, it will help you get more power to the ground sooner . and an LSD isnt gonna do crap for your HP. it may feel like you have 290 hp. to you because that 5 spd. manual most likely has a lower gear set than an auto so the takeoff is quick. but i guarantee you that a 318 isnt making 290 hp. with a TB spacer and a CAI.....oh and to help you guys out:


4 = for
cum = come
r = are
u = you
shud = should

2gether = together.


for all you folks who are illiterate.

A mach 1, really? Those are quick cars. Are you sure it wasn't just a 'clone'?

you may be around 210-215 to the wheels.

That's the 360 numbers and he has a 318. IIRC, the 318 is something like 200-210 at the crank. Could be wrong on that one.

How did you accomplish this? with my mod's listed earlier, I was close to a mild 5.0 hatch, But am building right now to run a buddy's UD pully Mach. I'll need more than what I have (Heads/Cam/Intake/Full exhaust/ect..)
