Why do our cars always seem to have a dyno graph that looks real wavey? Just wondering, my car has that too, and most graphs I've seen look that way.
key, I'd noticed this too, but dont remember seeing it before the '99 cars. I have wondered if it has something to do with how the car is strapped down and maybe flexing/interaction with the IRS when you first matt the throttle for the pull. dont know if I'd seen it on a GT, if anyone has then that blows that theory. If it was real, I gotta believe a lot of people would be commenting on it cause I gotta believe you could feel it when you drove it...

[edit] and after reading Bob's sig that pretty much blows that theory anyway since he did a live axle swap... Oh well, it was just an idea.
 
ME:
STD correction: 322rwhp
SAE correction: 314rwhp
NO correction (Actual): 318 rwhp
Close but still no cigar :(
Wonder what a tune and a catback would do for me..........

yes, the FR500 heads are in the 2002 catalog. 750.00 per bare head.

The intake and valvetrain, to my knowledge, arnt out yet.

If i just suddenly decided to become a colombian drug lord, i would get hogged out FR500 heads, Mod Max valvetrain, and ported FR500 intake.......mmm.....

Exactly:cool:
 
Sure can, BUT

Update for those who have followed Shawn Johnson's carbed mod motor. Shawn's trip to the chassis dyno last night netted 300+ rwhp and rwtq. This is a bone stock 1999 4V with 20k plus mileage.
This hp/tq was generated using a high stall converter and C4 trans.

Shawn ran 11.3s first time out and should run high 10's this weekend at WFC5.
