Some shots at the ring:
We tuned the car on the dyno with the following results:
The thick lines are the last run.
As you can see the numbers are not as expected from this build...
Also the torque seems to fall off after 7500 rpm...
We allready eleminated the following things:
- Intake-pipe
(used other intake pipe with almost identical results)
- Throttle-body
(used 4 different ones of which current one performed the best but all with 4-5hp)
- Cam-timing
(cams are dialed in)
- Exhaust
(open-header run shows similar results)
Things still open to be suspected:
- Intake-manifold
(however should be one of the best out there)
- Header
- Cams
If anybody has any ideas what might be wrong or limiting flow here, please let me know!
Looking forward to read and hopefully also post some usefull information here!
