You could try and find a dynojet.

 

[96TalonAWD]

what in the blue ostries is a dyno jet??????

Do you have a 1/4 mile track there? That would be the best way other than a dyno.

wow Im dumb I could have sworn you said they dont have 1/4 mile tracks there. A dyno jet is what is used to calculate hp. Try to find a track is my best suggestion. But if you dont have a baseline to go off of how will you know how much you improved?

if nothing else you could get one of those GTECH like devices that measuers hp by putting in your weight and stuff and it calculates how fast you go over a certain distance and gets HP and torque from that

I was surprised to see that those were actually pretty accurate when it somes to hp. a guy in a 1g laser dyno'd against the GTech, and it was off like 3 whp.

Unless you changed gear ratios even if you have 1000hp you will always do 90mph @4100rpm. The mods just get you there faster, ie: the 1000hp car would get to 90mph in say 4sec, yours 14 sec-ish

hope that helps

how do i change the gear ratios???
yes i can find a 1/4 mile track what is the next step after that?

You can't really change the gear ratios unless you spend ALOT of money on a aftermarket transmision. Which isn't really neccessary.

As for the track go see what you run with your current mods, and figure that stock you should be running around 15.2-15.0. Good luck!

BTW, If you are slower than "stock times" , you do not have lower HP than stock..u just can't drive and if u get unbelievably good time, u are just a good ass driver.

 

[96TalonAWD]

is there some kind of chart or something that can tell me the amount of HP per time on the 1/4 time like: 15.2-15.0=210 HP 14.7 =215 HP etc....

 

[larryd]

check out this thing.. its pretty neat and Ive heard nothing but good things about it

click me

 

[TurboSpoolinIns]

Time Does NOT determine HP. its the trap speed usually that determines hp. Am i correct? Correct me if i'm wrong, but that's how i analyzed it.

Hey people i just drive my car int he autobahn and and i know for fact now that i gain HP cause i hit about 14.5 PSI at wot with all my new mods and 2 months ago when my car was almost stock i just max at 11.

But almost poop on my pants people no joke!!! i when wot and when i hit almost 15 the car swing form side ti side i fell like i was losing control of the car!! i almost got a heart attack. i dont know if it was because my sunroof was open, or my new wheels, or maybe i just steer wrong since my eyes were all over the boost gauge.

But almost 15 psi with my mods is perfect i think, i dont got a cat-back
all my exhaust is stock, i clean mi IC real good last week maybe that help. It is possible to hit like 16 psi with stock exhaust and no MBC
