Please go right ahead but get your facts right first. I did not make any performance claims in regards to the Pro-M meter or the adapter hardware. What I do enjoy doing is making items that I consider to be aestheticly pleasing. That a couple of individuals asked me to make something for them I considered it an honor and a compliment.
You seem to be on a mission, one that is self appointed but a mission none the less. Why would you refuse to read old posts. There is a lot of information within them and quite a few members here did a lot of work to index some excellent information. To quote George Santana "The man that is ignorant of History is destined to repeat it" Why would someone do that?

While I am the first to agree that what matters most is what goes on out on the street or the strip, it is also prudent to realize that there are a LOT more variables in those venues than when dynoing a particular combination.

I can only guess what my vehicles would run back in the northeast at sea level at a track like Englishtown. I know they'd all set personal best times...that's a given.

So comparing one combo to another when we're all spread out all over the US can be tricky and certainly far from an exact science. A Dynojet or whatever should just be used as another tool for comparison. Just like its very important to compare the differences in conditions at my track here in N. TX compared to someone at Bandimere CO (5000+') or Englishtown, NJ.

whitelightnin,
Refusing to search the threads is very..umm immature.The FAQ is there for a purpose.the little search button is also.Who cares how much hp a mass air meter makes!

 

well,Ive never had my truck dynoed but if it was readily available in my area,I would for fun.i have a dragstip 20 minutes from me that I truly do woop almost everybodies *** as far as street CARS go nevermind trucks.As far as TRUE STREET cars at the track,the only thing that is even close is the two Z06s and one 12.8 ls1 trans am.I ran a best of 12.9 with my top speeds just under 106.Since the cool weather has hit,I have been running13.05-13.19s consistant with wheel spin!!All I have done is a chip/filter and strait pipes.no need for more mods just need for cooler weather and better traction.I will not add any more mods.I have a 12 second truck for $500 over purchase price.It doesnt get any better.here are a few of my slips from last weekend.Steet tires and all!not bragging,I just got lucky I guess.Just the facts


R/T .562 .478 .591 .720

60 2.056 2.148 1.985 1.966

330 5.603 5.661 5.523 5.481

1/8 8.513 8.533 8.430 8.382

MPH 84.58 85.58 84.61 84.63

1000 11.044 11.023 10.957 10.910

1/4 13.194 13.151 13.100 13.059

MPH 104.78 105.69 105.12 104.82

i DONT NEED NO STINKIN DYNO TO TELL ME iM RUNNING ABOUT 380-390 AT THE WHEELS.YOU CAN TAKE ANY CALCULATOR THAT IS PROVEN AND IT WILL TELL YOU iM WAY WAY OVER 400HP AT THE CRANK!!!!TAKE A 4800LB NON AREODYNAMIC SLED AND RUN IT 12.9 AND 106MPH ITS FAST ENOUGH!!

 

Well I just waxed my L with the new "Slippery Stuff" by BS Coatings and gained an extra 700 HP! Now if I can just find that dyno sheet you're demanding-ahhh, here it is:

HP
1200 ............---
1000 .........---...--
800 ......----.......-----
600 ...- -................------
400 ..-...........................--
200 -
0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000

RPM
Some additional tuning is necessary, as you can all see the spike to around 1200 HP, and the sudden drop-off, losing almost all of its power at higher RPMs. But all in all, for $8.95, I think it's a good value.

ralleyone -

Excellent numbers -

Where can i get that stuff?

After using Zaino I was only showing hp#s around 725.

Looks like it's time to change!

The pass phrase is "What have YOU been Eaton?"

 

Hey whitelightnin why don't you just go back to the LS1 board, you seem like the kind of ###### that would fit in real well. Have you heard of MAD, PISSED OR BETTY? I think your related.

 

All this over Fan Wash? I've seen where BABolt answered a post that a problem could be caused by fan wash which seems reasonable if too close to the fan but he did not say for sure that could be the only cause. The point he did make was his kit brought the MAF over enough to easily connect the wires which seems like a good idea to me. If it gets MAF & filter farther away from the fan so much the better.

So, I have to say: TAKE A PILL!!

BA,
Please take a geat deal of satisfaction just in knowing whitelightnin' will never get it.

I appreciate all your help and expertise, just wish I had your Long Tube headers instead of that Bassani that Dynoed 28 hp to the rear wheels.

If the moderator is a moderator. He will close this thread for the use of foul language! You stuped to the level of the kids over at LS1.com. jw

 

I think Mike's quote is very eloquently put,not at all foul. You however need some manners and a dictionary.
