Pretty good start!
 
A local dyno place had a dyno day today. I decided to head out tonight to see if I could there in time to get a baseline. Well, luckily I made it and $50 and 3 pulls later, Mr Hyde knows where he stands.:smile: First off I'll let you know they were giving away a plaque and a t-shirt for the "lowest" and "highest" horsepower cars of the night. I won:one: , too bad it was for the "lowest".:lol: I am really amazed at this little beast! I was figuring with the rated horsepower at 260 and a 15% driveline loss, I should be between 210 and 220 to the wheels. Well, was I surprised! The 1st pull Max power was 238.28 and Max torque was 260.87! Holy **** The 2nd pull was the best pull, Max power was 245.83 and Max torque was 261.90. Can you say "SCWHING"? The last pull, Max power was 237.59 and Max torque was 252.88. These runs were back to back with no cool down and no fan in front of the car to blow on the intercooler. I am stoked!!!! I'll get a picture of the dyno graph and post it tomorrow.
1st pull - 238.28HP/260.87TQ
2nd pull - 245.83HP/261.90TQ
3rd pull - 237.59HP/252.88TQ

PS - this was with 2,469 miles on the odometer and BONE STOCK. Impressive to me!

$50 Dyno?
 
$50 dyno is cheaper than I have found here. They want $150 per hour with one hour minimum. I would like to do some testing but not at that price.
Your horsepower is pretty good and you now have a good baseline if you make any changes. Curly

You can't really see the graph and the torque is not on there, but it's the best I have right now. I am trying to get them to send me a better quality file. The numbers are listed in my 1st post.

Curly, that $50 is just because they were having a dyno-day. You got 3 pulls with no tuning or cooldowns. It's alot more expensive when dyno-tuning, probably $150+ an hour around here as well.
