  • So what will cause me to lose 10+ mph on the dyno?

    I'm just trying to figure out whats wrong with my car. In march of 09' the car did 131 in 4th gear with a 26" tall tire on the dyno, now in 2010' same dyno but different days the car will only do like 120 in 4th gear on the dyno.

    I haven't change anything to the car drive line. Soooo what in the hell would cause this to happen?

    That is kind of strange, would be interesting to find the cause of that. Oh yes it was nice to met you guys last night at the pig, Your camaro sounds great. Hope I get to see it run this year.

      Yeah, BLU BYU. Nice to meet you guys last night.

      Not sure about what caused the mph diff. Probably doesn't matter though.

      Your car sounds healthy and you're making some nice power with your new tune.

      Look forward to seeing you make a few passes at the track.

                Is your car an auto? If so, its possible that in 09 the torque convertor clutch was locked up, and this year it didn't have a chance to lock up during the pull..

                      Ok next question then. Were they both radials each time?

                      Also was there a significant differance in power?

                        Git it to the track and don't worry about dyno numbers.
