My (mostly stock) baseline L98 dyno #'s

I got my car back together, fixed a whole bunch of major issues. I got it baselined today so I can see how much 15 psi will improve these numbers.

230whp @ 4300-4500 rpm
330wtq @ I forget because they only printed me the HP chart. *DOH*

The engine has Speed-Pro pistons and PM rods, and it has a 9.0:1 scr. The block and cam are from my old '89, the stock heads I got used, but redone, and the rest is from the '90. It also has a TB airfoil and I removed the plenum EGR walls (wow), and an SLP Loudmouth with no cat. Oh, and the drop-in K&N's, heh.
The runs were way lean, spiking to 14.5:1 AFR at 4700. I richened it up some for the second run, but not nearly enough as it was still lean. That only 'gained' 1hp and 5 lb/ft, hehe. This was through a T56 in 4th gear with a JG1 driveshaft and 3.42 gears, if you care that much.

If there is a 15% loss then that's 270 at the flywheel! I somehow think that's a bit optimistic, though.

If I get a chance to hook my dad's scanner up to my computer I'll post the dyno sheet.

For the mods you have done I think those are very good numbers.

I agree, comparing to a lot of stock numbers I've seen.

BTW, this was on a full tank of year old 93 octane mixed with a couple gallons of new 91. It sat in storage from July '05 until this month.

yeah those are about right for the mods! you really need to get that AFR fixed up. should pick up some nice power.

i need to dyno my car again..i think i dyno'd it with the EST wire dissconnected! and converter unlocked...still put down 200whp tho lol

Sounds identical to my GF's motor. Heres is L98, 8:4:1 compression for blower, stock heads, stock untouched TPI setup and random rech catback. Cam is an LPE216 cam. All else is stock and it was 239rwhp and 338 rwtq with stock chip. I figure thats not too bad for small cam and low compression.

The AFR on that calibration is no longer. I'm running $58 now, and the AFR is even worse, hehe. I'll tune it later, with boost.

It was 329.4 lb/ft @ 3200 rpm.
It was making 300+ lb/ft from 2500 to 4000 rpm, and looks like it would have been 250+ @ 2000 rpm still if it went that low (starts at 2300). Cool. Or not, depending on what one thinks of tirespin.
I expect those torque numbers at the wheels to double.
