Does This Seem A Little Slow To You?

[Gareth]

Hello all

can you check out this video : http://youtu.be/AefKQ4Gk53k

and tell me does it seem rather slow considering it ran 246 kw on the dyno. I'm wondering if they made the figures look more atractive than what they really were. i was thinking 80-160 should be around the 7 second mark instead i'm seeing about 8 and 100-200 around the 12 second mark instead of 14! before i go and maybe try another dyno i thought i would see what you all reckon as i know there are plenty of you on here with similar mods and similar power.

thats fine

Looks reasonable to me as well

That was at the drag strip wasn't it

Definitely looks like a track to me.

What setup do you have? What tirbo? ThAt will help in being able to tell if its performing how it should be.

Thanks for the replies, i didn't realise the video was going to pop up on the page (when you goto YouTube itself i have listed mods in the comments) turbo is GCG high flow with the usual supporting mods. Was dyno'd by a reputable workshop so i wouldn't expect them to mislead me but i don't really know

What wheels/tyres are you running? This will have an effect also. What are you basing your times on as well? Because your entire setup and tune will make a difference as to how fast it accelerates

[tricstar]

it looks alright, on what basis are you basing the whole thing on.. ie. 80-160 in 7 seconds ? is that what they were doing in Fast and the Furious ?? yours actually looks pretty good, especially with only 246kw's

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

looks about right.. if you start the pull in 3rd gear it might seem quicker

[Gareth]

ok i think i know where i was going wrong i was overestimating drivtrain loss then comparing to my boss's ISF, which with my miscalculation i was thinking should have similar acceleration. looks like i still wont be overtaking him down the straight next track day.......ahh nuts.

well i just wanted to get some opinions anyway from people who would know.......so thanks......

Dude, that's pulling like a freight train

[The Dan]

Wow, 246kw on only 10psi. That seems normal for a T04Z

[GTScotT]

take it to the strip and verify if its right by your trap speed

thats more or less the only way.

to me it looks quick enough, but maybe a little less than 246kw

[The Dan]

50c says you only make 200-220.

Either that or the magic mushrooms you are eating have affected your perception of acceleration

[AngryRB]

the revs move pretty slow, almost looks like an NA reving

also looks like my el falcon but in first gear haha
