Dyno

[JoeNational]

Does anybody know where i could find a dyno around the NYC area or if there is one that shows up at englishtown, raceway park or have some tools that could give me a rough estimate? i have all this work done to my car and no clue on what my hp rating is , people often ask how much hp and i look like a fool saying "i have no clue just that i get thrown in the trunk when nail the gas"

Good question, i will ask around and see if i can find someone. I would like to dyno my car next season

do you happen to have quarter-mile times for it? If so, you can get a decent rear-wheel horsepower estimate from your E.T. using some formulas that aren't too hard

I think i have some old quarter mile times somewhere from the previos owner. I think it was high 12's..
Not sure...

Off your topic, but do you have a stock converter and stock heads with your TA-61? If so, how bad is the turbo lag? Thanks.

 

[JoeNational]

Yes i do, honestly not as bad as i thought when i first put my foot in it , it feels like it takes a lil bit for the turbo to start to spool up but when it does it feels like somebody picked up the car and threw it , but in about another month wheater providing iam throwing in a vigilante converter and art carr shift kit, and down the line port and polish with 55#ers, but i want to completely bullet proof the bottom end so wont do that for a while,

Thanks. I was considering upgarding to a TA-61 but I wasn't sure about the lag.
