great meeting everyone today! My best out of 3 runs was 403whp/453wtq...not bad for a stock daily driver with 86k miles, now I can get some go fast mods in.
Johncy your cars an animal, spinning on the dyno and hitting 200mph sucks your were getting so many issues bro.
Your car sounded way better than mine Repac!! As for my car I am kind of disappointed with the numbers I put down but o well, I know I am making way more power than that on the street. Maybe because of the tires spinning, the dyno wasn't reading right.

On Jeremy's dyno, stock E55s put down 370hp and around 410trq. That thing is a heart-breaker... However, as we all know, Dyno numbers are good to validate modifications. Get the baseline, and then look for improvements. A big dyno number doesn't mean a whole lot.
I got on a Dynojet to get a baseline of current mods, and also to run the race tune. The Dyno jet was not as "soft" as some have lead me to believe. It did read higher, but again, my point was to test a race fuel tune. That tune gave me 10HP (approx) and 25TRQ. My goal is to now street tune, and by having these baselines, and I test files real world, and dyno locally.
E55 AMG, 72' Toyota Carina, 63' Ford F100, 72' Mercedes 250c, 15' Harley Davidson Softail

What were your numbers?
How many people showed up?
Was it fun???
Ended up being about 10-11 cars on the dyno today. It was a extremely fun day and for $40 can't really beat seeing a bunch of cars on the dyno the twin charged mk1 was freaking amazing!

THIS. I put down 403/453 today ...I honestly didn't care what it put down as long as I knew what it was so I can see the difference once my LT/HE/pump/tune go in.

post up the sheets when you guys get a chance!!!
Ill try to post my sheet up tomorrow when I get to scan it. YES we were have problems at 160mph so us stock guys had to do the pulls in 3rd gear. 4th would only let the rpms get to about 5500.

Definately a factor, plus your car was heat soaked like a motha!
