Thunderstruck95’s Dyno Sheet

[Thunderstruck95]

This was from several years ago after a session with Dave Dalke at Soupercoupes Unlimited. Stock 2001 4.6 block and heads, stage 2 cams that were degreed, bullitt intake, kooks headers.

I believe the best pull that day was 245 HP.

What’s a horse pork?

 

[Jae 'Bird]

Its when the Horsepower and Torque values are exactly equal, so if say a car made 250 HP and 250 Ft Lbs of torque, the car would be considered making a "horse pork"

How do you like those cams? They seem pretty popular for good idle and power.

The cams seem fine. I have only run them with 4:10 gears and a looser converter, so I don’t know how they would feel with a more tame setup. When I am moderately accelerating and my converter is unlocked, my engine is always in the 2800 to 3,000 rpm range, so I can’t report much on low end feel.

With my current exhaust my car doesn’t really sound like it has a cam. There is a very minor lump but not enough to make anyone notice.

What converter do you have and what's the stall set at?

I don't get it? Is that a jab at me being Canadian? Its just something I heard online and it made be chuckle, it sounds funny.

It definitely has a folksy Canadian/upper Midwest twang to it. I could hear Derek from VGG saying horse pork

Well I take that as a compliment, so thank you

What converter do you have and what's the stall set at?

It was originally a converter built by DirtyDog (Alan).
Shortly after I got my car dyno tuned, my original trans decided to die. I wanted to get the converter flushed out- Alan was out of the scene- and I ended up finding ATF Speed in Florida. Sent them my converter, they ended up changing some aspects of it (I forget the details) and that is what I’m running now.
They called it a 4200 rpm stall. I can foot brake it to around 2400, and it can flash to somewhere around 3500.
