There were allot of dyno runs at Rosen today, 2 of the most notable were
the F150 lighting putting down 404 hp and 360 tq, whew! There was one
turbo-ed 240 sx that ran a 212 hp and 212 tq. Now my de lima, I was
disappointed with my run because I was looking for 140+ to the wheels.
Granted all of us did our dyno runs in 4th gear, but there were stockers
there laying down 120 hp and 114 tq. I ran a lousy 134 hp and 117 tq. I
did gain 7 hp with the AEM CAI!. Which was one bright side to this. My
dyno results are as follows, try to follow the story (mods) and give me
some suggestions on what could be wrong. All runs are in 4th gear. Thanks5/01

& 117 tq. I did at one point have a bad cam install. My intake cam was
bad but the dyno runs were after it was corrected. It's like I gained no
hp with the cams and lost tq. Something is wrong! The car feels and is
faster (based on my drag strip times and mph). My but dyno says yes but
the real dyno says no. :(  Joel                 --- Joel & Viola
