Re: Rolling Dyno Results

[stoopid kid <stoopid@idirect.com>]

	alright, alright.  here's a quick little something for ya'll if
you care:

	i've got a 2.0 16V with a mild P&P head, TT SS downpipe into
non-cat 16V rocco exhaust into scorpion back-box.  i've also got the
bottom half of my airbox cut away.  that's about it.  oh yeah, it's all
thrown together into a 2-door 84 jetta gli.

	power at the wheels is 126hp.  power at the crank is 146hp.
torque is estimated to be about 127ft-lb at the wheels.  these numbers are
about right, but not spot on cuz out of 5 runs, 4 of them were done
without my car using full-throttle.  in fact, the car had never had full
throttle since it got it's bottom end swapped out from a 1.8 to a 2.0.
a fellow dubber pointed this out to me, fixed it, and on my 5th and final
run, my baby gained 12hp!!!  

	CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR THROTTLE CABLES ARE NICE AND TIGHT!
