M50 Dyno Chart! I guess it's time to go turbo...

Thanks man! I appreciate the comment!

What kinda dyno were you on Matt?

Dynojet. I didn't have headers either.

Cool, I have a very similiar build in the process.

Who cares about numbers...that car is quick! Thats all that matters.
Kills my NV like I had the e-Brake on.

Thanks San! And don't exaggerate, your car has a lot of pep.:up:

You shouldn't exaggerate by saying it does.


:nice:

Hey my car runs!

[WADE30]

Haha! He has you there, Richard! :D

[mazur]

For the time being...and that goes both ways ;)


How is your car running right now San? Oh yah, only because mine isn't, haha.

[JGood]

Isn't that what you'd expect with those mods? I'd be thrilled with 195whp if I had M3 cams. That's a huge gain over stock.

This makes me excited to do the cams/software. s50 hp for cheap!

I'm sorry, but dynos are a tuning tool, not a test of whether or not your car is fast. Go to the drag strip or road course and see if your motor is making enough power, not the peak numbers (which are basically irrelevant) on a dyno, which might be completely different tomorrow at another dyno across town...

Of course, if all you care about is bragging rights or swinging the biggest stick at the drive thru, by all means go turbo...

That is pretty impressive and quite frankly very reassuring. I was hoping to achieve about 200whp with my build.

Fully rebuilt - M50 Block
M52 Pistons - 84.5mm
M52 Crank
M52 Rods
S50 Cams
Stock Injectors and MAF
Ported Head and exhaust manifolds
3-angle valve job (every bit counts right?)
TRM chip
16lb flywheel
3.25 LSD w/ Getrag 250 tranny

Dont you have a better chart BTW? You know, with RPMs...not MPH.

Man you're totally taking this out of context. That was NOT what this was about. Mostly this was a joke with the AZ guys, that I would have to buy them beer if I didn't get over 200whp at the dyno.

I know that the dyno doesn't prove how fast the car is. I appreciate your opinion, and I DO road race and auto-x, so I know this will be fun this season at the track.

And if you knew me, I am the last person to be wanting to brag and boast about my car. Pride is a sin my brother.

Maybe I am taking too much from your post? If so, my apologies.

Thanks for your interest in my thread Rob! :)
