Post Dyno Run results

Thought you guys might be interested:

without Swanson chip:
Max Power = 335.3
Max Torque = approx. 411

with Swanson chip:
Max Power = 360.1
Max Torque = approx. 426

Don't have exact torque figures yet because the computer calculated the shift spikes as the max torque.

Temp: from 96 to 102.5 degrees
SAE correction factor: 1.01

Other mods (included in both runs):
PSP filter kit, JBA headers, dual 3" flowmasters with x-chamber.

My mid 14sec. runs at the track were definitely not because of the chip! I have taken Wes' suggestion and cleared the computer, we'll see how it goes...

Mike

Great numbers, Mike.

With any kind of air/track conditions, you'll be in the 13.2 range is my guess.

Question

When you dyno an L you make your run in 2nd and 3rd? Is that why there is a torque spike?

Every time I've had mine dyno'd, we haven't gone WOT til ~3400rpm in 3rd gear. At that rpm it doesn't downshift into 2nd...at least it hasn't when I've dyno'd it. So, no torque spike for me.

However, I have seen it when people go WOT in 2nd and then it shifts into 3rd...oh my, you can get a huge spike in TQ.
