My exhaust is finally going to arrive next week I've been told. In the meantime I've got my DV on the way. I would love to dyno the car after the exhaust is in. I'm going by the numbers I've read that indicate what the exhaust and the chip are good for, and I'm hoping for about 200 whp after all is said and done. I figure that the drivetrain will suck out at least 80-90 hp before it hits the wheels.

What do you folks think?

 

Your not going to lose that much in drivetrain losses. Here is a intake, chip, and catback 225 dyno



204whp
238ftlbs

add in a dp and you should add in about 10 more whp and 15 ftlbs

 

So that's not too far from what I estimated. Greg at APR said that their exhaust is good for about 25 hp and 35 ft-lbs of torque. I figured that with the drive-train loss i would be in the low 200's range. This will be nice in the ol' butt-o-meter dept.

 

greg is a good guy...very patient with me when my FMIC was delayed for almost 4 months....i called him just about everyday....their damn manufactures made a bunch of shity cores....he also has a Stage 3+ apr kit on his TT 35psi on stock internals!!!

 

Holy crap! He musta tuned it to back off the low end torque if those stock rods are still alive.

 

238ftlbs and 20mm wrist pin rods are more than enough to handle that lowend torque. ATC and 225 rods (same) are more than strong enough to handle that and much more.
