Default Red T/A at Rev X's Dyno Day....Official Call-Out

I was told by a few people that a younger guy with his girlfriend said he'd put $500.00 down that he could beat me out of the hole. I'd like to take you up on this offer. It was a red LS1 Trans Am not sure who it was, but let me know when you would like to run

Could have been, but if he's serious I'd like to take him up on that offer.

I hear that Viper was a low 9 second car as well, that could be a good run. I don't think I got any good #'s out of my car if you compare it to what its running at the track and that it lost over 100hp without chaning anything. Either way I know I don't want any of the Sentra

You are correct on the converter, its a 5500 stall. I was thinking the tires might have something to do with it as well. Everyone said the car was shaking really bad on they dyno, but you go down track and it feels like a Cadillac at 145. As far as my graph, it looked like a 3 year old had a box of crayons and tried to draw a pretty picture. I've never had a dyno graph look like that with loops and everything.

yea, your tires were VERY wobbly up there, but from what ive been told, with a large slick like that, they are usually out of round, and grow horizontally, as they grow vertically due to inertial weight being thrown around. but yes, there were points where it looked as if your tires were hopping off the rollers.
