Well finally got my truck on the dyno today in class and did a few different tests. First was a 0-60 full throttle, which was 6.11 seconds and a distance 0.06 miles. Next was a 1/4 sprint, final time of 15.01 @ 85.6 MPH...faster then what i ran last year and finally the power curve. I ended up with 259.4 HP at 5250 RPM and 280 ft.-lb torque at 4250 RPM.....thats lower then some numbers that i've seen, but i can live with that....overall i was pretty satisfied with the numbers i saw
0-60 times i think are fine, gotta figure it's a 5500lb truck (approx) with 259hp, power to weight ratio isn't that great for a quick 0-60 time, although that time is quicker then my brother's SSEi Bonneville when we raced 0-70 side by side and his car was atmy rear door at 70...anyways...only performance mod i have is a CAI
yah in class...had some extra time during my alternative fuels class today, i'm in my 4th and final year of getting my B.S in Automotive Tech as i already have an A.A.S. from a DCX sponsored college....my truck has the hemi
Wow , Congrats sounds like apromiseing/interesting future. I would of loved to go to Automotive school , but than came kids/wife and no school for me.lol BTW good numbers for Hemi i figured 250s at the wheels, so better than i thought.
already ran a real quarter mile when i bought the truck, it ran a 15.7 at the quarter...yah i'm not gonna stand byu these numbers and say they are 100% accurate...cant complain for it being a free dyno that we got and not havin to pay anything for usin it
