i'll try to make it if i can manage to get up that earlier on a saturday.. i'm a vampire on the weekends. my buddy chickened out on the dyno for his ws6 ta.. he's waiting on a new cam and some other mods before he'll dyno.

I didn't write down the results, but Vaughn did so I'm assuming he'll send out an email detailing the numbers. I got 198.8hp and 130.0tq. The Viper GTS got the highest reading at, I think, 419hp. Ferrari 348 and the stock 3.0 NSXs were all around 240hp. The Comptech SC NSX had about 350hp. The other S2000, with 1600 miles, had 187hp.

There's some weird stuff going on in my torque curves today. Back on June 24th I had my car dynoed at a different shop and got 204.1hp and 138.9tq. Torque peak was at 6400rpm, linearly declined slightly until 8300rpm, then dropped off fairly rapidly until redline. On the run today, torque peak was actually at 7500rpm, like the factory claims. The curved dipped a bit after 6400rpm, climbed back up, then took the final plunge. Very strange.

The other S2000 owner had a sweet camera setup, too. From Fryes he got some tiny cameras, about 3/4" long and 1/2" wide, and mounted one in the front toe-hook hole and the other above the rear license plate. The cameras connect with RJ45 jacks, and he has a digital video camera connected to a switch to record everything. The cameras even have microphones. I definitely need to run down and grab me some of those. What a perfect setup! At the JEH TWS event, he plans on adding two to the interior, plus one outboard on the passanger side.

Oh, a couple other things I forgot. My dad's Boxster S got 215hp. And the TransAm made nearly the same hp as a C5 Vette that showed up.

Thanks for the results, I was wondering about that earlier today. The one that surprises me is the 348. The one time I rode in one it did not seem all that powerful.

The one percent difference in your peak ratings is not too surprising with different machines, operators, etc. I know it is possible to see very small differences in curve with large temp change.. could that be it? If the difference in the curve is also 1% variations it may just be ambient / engine temp difference.

I look forward to seeing the camera setup. What does he record to?

i forgot what gadget it was.. some portable camera that allows him to burn the film directly to cd. that guy seemed to really know his sheet. he's got a front and rear mounted camera and he's gonna do 2 more.. he wants all the grand toriosmo camera views. pretty funny guy.. said something about his hamsters not being broken in yet as the reason he dynoed at 187

i was pretty suprised the viper owners were goking over the stook so much. damn it was exotics, imports, domestics galore. and a austin healy that i bet hauls balls.. the guy said it ran a 12.8 302chevy engine in it.. and weighs 1900
