Dave Forget?

I had these adjustable KYBs on one of my other cars so I decided to give them a try this morning in my grey car.

I can say there's a noticeable improvement, less rear squat, stiffer, and the car tracks straighter going into boost!

Does that say "Super Special" on it? Pretty cool.

[M3NTAL]

Had the car dyno'd finally.

[Advancedynamix]

Nice! That's a good looking curve too. Can you post a better shot of the graph?

[M3NTAL]

That small turbo torque

[Advancedynamix]

Is there no TQ shown on the graph? Those all look to be HP passes. TQ should be more flat, especially with that linear of a power curve.

Dark blue is TQ

[Advancedynamix]

Wow, that's pretty nice. I want one! Why is it dropping off so hard before 6k? Time for better cams. That intake manifold and turbo should be good for over 6k rpm.

[Flyin4stroke]

Carlos controls the tq with the tune. He prides himeself on keeping it nice and flat.

[Advancedynamix]

It's hard to tell what is what from that picture, but I'm assuming the boost control is set up to ramp the TQ with rpm. That's a great TQ curve, but it would be nice to pull past 6500rpm, especially if the g series has a tall 5th. I'd highly recommend an ATI damper and stock weight flywheel for over 6k rpm though. Also, make sure the block vent is being used.

the ol t25.

There's something funny about that graph... In particular, the crossover point: it's not at 5252 like it should be (must be). And given the near 45* torque plot, the hp line should look more exponential, seeing that hp is merely an equation of force and time.

[Advancedynamix]

I was thinking the same thing. I figured maybe a correction had thrown things off.
I've seen TQ curves ramped like that with boost control, but TQ shouldn't be higher than HP over 5300rpm. If the HP was overcorrected, maybe this could happen? I'm stumped.

[shorestiva]

Looks like they are all hp graphs with no torque. If you look down in the left corner it has run1 run2 and run3 in 3 different colors that match the 3 different curves.
