You would get better numbers in fourth. The first time I dyno'd my car, I did a run in third. I came up with like 94 whp. (sad1) Second time, we went in 4th, I gained about 10 whp. Supposedly you want the gear that is closest to 1:1 ratio. Thats 4th for us. So your numbers might even be higher! No big deal probably, as long as next time you do the same gear, so you know how much you gained. Thats all that is really important.Replica said:
Even if you were in 4th, those are good numbers for just having an intake and nothing else. Thanks for the info, its always good to see people post real numbers and dyno sheets up. Makes it much easier to compare mods.Replica said:
Very true, the P5 seems way torquier, at way lower rpm's than most other econoboxes I've driven. A buddy and I rented a civic for a road trip last fall, it was an ex i believe rated at something like 137hp, and man it had no guts at all. The automatic made it that much worse. We'd set the cruise at 80 and the po' thing would slow and slow on a slight hill to about 75, then have to downshift and rev frantically to catch up. What a dog.rustychops41 said:notice the broad flat torque curve
damn....actually 101 whp is almost about right. After i get my crank pulley installed im gonna head to the dyno and see what i pull. Where did u go to get dyno'ed by the way?Replica said:
