Default Dyno Results

I installed a Roadburner Velocity Pro 2 into 1 exhaust and opened my airbox and installed a K&N air filter and a Spiker modded cover.

I was going to post the actual dyno charts but they're .pdf files and I cant figure out how to post those since photobucket won't support those. Any ideas?

Anyway, peak power measured at 88.2 HP & 114 ft-lbs of torque SAE corrected.

My tuner did a great job and really flattened out the A/F numbers, they looked like a sine wave before. Acceleration is a lot crisper and low end grunt is improved a lot and way smoother. Well worth the money IMHO.

You could open it on your screen, do a print screen and paste it into a picture program and then upload...

For those wanting to bump the rev limiter up, this dyno sheet greatly shows that it's not necessary or gainful to do it. As it shows the power peaking at 3500 rpm, reving above the preset limit wouldn't gain you anything.

What happened to the curve between idle (around 800-900) and 1750 RPM?

I'd be interested in seeing your map..I assume you are using some sort of tuner like a pcIII?

That's just the peak map, there's actually dozens at all kinds of different throttle positions. I asked for e-copies but he couldn't figure out how to get them from his computer to mine.

It's a PCIII USB.
