HELP....my so called performance slug

<< < (2/16) > >>

Vette Obsessed:
I'd expect a late-ish L98 to dyno up to 220(ish)RWHP based on what I've seen.  (For once Boschie is being conservative with something (as opposed to going all-out ;41)).

ET-wise, most stock or basically stock auto L98's in good tune I've seen seem to be capable of 14.0-14.5 second ET's.

I'd check the basics first, timing, fuel pressure, good spark to all plugs, etc.

From what I understand, a 52mm throttle body is pointless with basic mods (I have one too but if I did it again I wouldn't have done it so early).

Before you look at more mods I'd be looking to find why your output is so low - which I guess would be a basic tuning issue.

I'd also ask what sort of dyno was used (and if it was a Dyno Dynamics dyno - was it in "Shootout Mode") when your power run was made?

SC:
Go and check the basic's first, do a comp test as low comp = low power output
you can't tune an engine unless the comp is spot on and if someone is trying too they are ripping you off
My very stock 98 with a full tank of fuel did 14.0
I have never put it on a dyno and can't give you a hp figure, i was happy with 14.0
Decide what your happy with a high hp reading on a dyno or a low 1/4 time

MR 502:
My 91 conv L98 at our dyno day put out 206 rear wheel hp
and at the drags on a wedensday night my best was a 14.003 @ 95.79mph or 154.1 kph
This car is stock standard (with C5 wheels);54

SC:
Since we are on the subject of performance slugs i have never seen any of the RAT PACK post a time better than boschvette's 11.7 in a small block
i thought the rat pack were leaders not followers hahahahaha sorry
untill one of the rat pack members inprove on this time they should all turn up to club meetings in skirts any colour would be nice or better the time, its time to put up or ........... iron your skirts for the next meeting

69 DIRTY RAT:
If you refer back to The RAT PACK rules and regulations, although quick times are good they are not a must! Only meeses have to prove themselves. When you are cool why try and prove it! Does the Primeminister have to constantly prove he is the Primeminister? Its the same situation....we have nothing to prove....we are at the top of the food chain! I can bring up the laws of averages if you like! Well the fact that 1 mouse is fast and the rest of you guys are slow...it doesnt look good for you meeses! If you average big block times you will see that most Rats will beat most small blocks! ;41;37
