Group,
I got the M dynoed at Carlisle...to see what is up with my car....
Here are the results:

Weather Conditions:
Air Temp: 83*F
Absolute Barometric Pressure: 29.90 in Hg.
Vapor Pressure: ~ .2 in Hg.

Max HP (SAE Corrected): 173.4
Max Torque (SAE Corrected): 193.8

Correction Factor: .99

At 30% Drivetrain Loss, the estimated numbers:
HP: 248 HP
Torque: 277 Lb/Ft

At 33% Drivetrain Loss, the estimated numbers:
HP: 259 HP
Torque: 289 Lb/Ft

As you can see, the torque curve has been shifted down towards the basement by around 500 - 800 RPM.
The 3/8" Spacer is doing what it should....

What do you guys think??

Quite impressive.......


So when you gonna have more of these made? I want to remove my plenum for powder coating, so I'd have it off anyways and could drop the spacer in

Oh Snap! Too bad I got that 2.7

im sorry im not very technical...but what is a spacer? where can i read more on this? looks very intresting.

 

[dabirdzR/T]

He made a space that goes between the upper intake and the lower intake, if you look thru the big black intake, thru the spaces where the spark plugs are, you can see the spacer under that

By increasing the runner length, you shift the power band down into a lower RPM band. By doing that, it makes it more useable.

I've always wondered if anyone has dynoed a LX 3.5 with the 5spd auto. They're heavier cars but seem to have 0-60 numbers at least just as good as LHs.

I'm guessing they might be putting down 190-ish at the wheels?

What's up with the numbers? I thought that the"new" listed numbers on hp/torque are at the wheels not the flywheel.
