1000 points to the winner

[Tippin Spotted Cow]

Thinkin' about dyno'n my truck on friday. Not for sure yet, though. How about a pool on what my numbers will be, because I haven't the foggiest... I couldn't even ballpark it. If I break 200hp I'll be happy, and if I break 400hp I'll be surprised. There, now its WIDE open for any takers. Winner gets braggin rights.



If you haven't guessed, this is more so a fun thread, just to mess around with. Any real guesses can be thrown in the hat, though. Somehow we all end up giving our take on various aspects of life in threads about exhaust, wiring, or pumps. This way we can talk about whatever, whenever, but revolve it around some form of 1st gen related topic, lest we need to step outside our comfort zone of first genners.

[Tippin Spotted Cow]

I should hope I'd beat 15. 6... I think I better find a new hobby if not.

What kind of dyno, Dynojet or load dyno?

 

[PToombs]

282 rwhp/ 624 Tq

 

[Tippin Spotted Cow]

It's a load style dyno.



I have a feeling all this is going to lead to is spending more money when my numbers aint where I want them... .





... which will in turn mean I'll break more parts... and spend even more money to fix them... .



... then when its fixed I'll dyno it again... .





... do we see where this is going?

 

[dodgenstein]

Since it's a load dyno, I'll say 255/630. I had a disappointing run on a load dyno last Nov. , and did some research. Most sources placed the particular brand of dyno used as typically reading 12-15% lower than a Dynoijet. Since most figures listed here are Dynojet numbers, it's kinda a apples/oranges deal.

Yep. I do.



My brother is a financial advisor. He won't let me forget my hot rod 1992 (or any for that matter) is one of the worlds most unwise/worst investments as you can clearly see.



My trucks are are loosing me thousands each year in lost $ from investments. Should get out now and invest what little I'd return on them.

 

[GIT-R-DONE]

I will say. . . 234/620 @ the wheels.

 

[Tippin Spotted Cow]

"T" minus 3 hours. Any last minute guesses?



Jimmy, what do you think at the rears? Just so we have a level playing field here.

 

[Tippin Spotted Cow]

How does 0hp and 0ft-lbs tickle ya? There will be no dyno run. Blew up the turbo on the way home from work.



f-ing figures... .

 

[GCroyle]

TSC,



I know at least what time it is!



Its NEW $TURBO$ TIME!!!



I didn't see auto or handhaker?

 

[JGrefenstette]

285/590 at the wheels. but now that your gettin a new turbo, Lord only knows, cause if i know you, youll go hog wild with this little window of oprotunity:-laf absurdly large turbo, 4inch heck maby even a 5 inch down pipe. lets see what you do then ill guess at it.
