Dyno'd
I got a cheap dyno done today.. No Torque Curves, etc.
does 140HP at 3500RPM sound right, or is there something I should be looking at.
I've got 100HP at 3000, and 140 at both 3500 and 4000, My gearing is tall, so Im guessing thats one reason for the falloff. Max HP was achieved at 3300RPMs.
the mechanic said it has to do with the flatcam and such.
if there's anyone with the 5.2L that has done their own dyno maybe give me any input. Would be appreciated for comparison.

RE: Dyno'd
I have a 318 too and those number sound right. These things are so weak. It ****'s me off. They've got 4 bangers that make over 250 hp and 200 ft lbs easy and our big old V8s suck *****.
It makes me want to do a huge rebuild. [:@] I hate how the 318s are so *****

RE: Dyno'd
yeah, but also those little 4bangers are smaller, lighter, and gearing way different.-
he was suggesting going for new exhaust manifolds first before the TB. anyone concur?
