92 ZR-1 on the dyno Today

[Subfixer]

All stock except Mark's chip.


326hp @ 5700, 322tq @ 4700.


Fell off to 305hp, 210tq @ 7000.



Using 15% loss as a guide, puts the engine power just about 385hp.

Not bad for a 27 year old, 20k mile car.

Your numbers are really close to mine.

Sumpins' up. HP should climb right to 7K.
At 5700 rpm, I was about 420, at 7K I was about 450.

Stock vs cammed or ?

An (below) actual stock (Dynojet) LT5 (1990-92, IIRC) for comparison.

=334 HP at the wheels @ 5700, ~330 torque @ ~4500 RPM

The dyno operator cut it off early ~6400 RPM, but it looks that SUBFIXER's #s are about normal for a stock LT5. Looks about right to me, no?

Nice. I think the 90-92 LT5s were originally 375HP at 6000 rpm (nominally about 318HP after 15% driveline loss) and 370 lb-ft at 4800 rpm (about 314 lb-ft after loss factor).

Looks like the chip does what it is advertised to do as far as power and torque upgrade, which I'm happy to see since I too have stock LT-5 except Haibeck chip.

Thanks for the share!

So I have long tubes, the SW 3" exhaust and Marcs chip plus I just got it back from him for the header provision... He says +25 hp so thats crank hp, correct? I wonder what my engine would be at....

[efnfast]

My hp always climbs right to red line, doesn't fall off like that.
Yes it's cammed, but did it before also.
Looks like I got the only good one.
Maybe I'll bring my sheets to BG, make sure I'm reading them right. (It's only two lines).
But, I'm not very goodly edumacated.

Here's my dyno plot.
Runfile_001 was a short first pull.
Runfile_002 was the first full pull.
Runfile_003 was the second full pull with the best numbers.
