Nah....that is Randy's call.

I am a little sorry I started this thread. ,.... I was not looking for a "guess my WHP" as a contest but rather what seemed to be a reasonable expectation from those that have similar cars or experience with some or all of my "mods". I really have my answer for which I thank you all........now this thread can disappear and I will be happy:smile:

Would that be with the exhaust valve in the open or closed position?

Anyway, I think about 228 whp at 6900 rpm ---

you all are about right depending on which dyno you believe...... I have used 5 different dynos for various reasons.......they differ as much as 40 whp depending on all sorts of parameters and the dynos themselves.

Spidey, is there a prize for the correct guess?

Get it dynoed. Lots of mods, gotta be the high side of 215 whp.

Man, you guys are really expecting a whole lot. 230 Whp? No way with those mods.

It really does depend on the dyno. I would bet that the good, correct, high end dynos wiill give you about 180 whp at most with those mods. Maybe more like 170.

onasled, which one(s) would you consider good, correct high-end dynos?

Couldn't agree more. Mine, '03 +alta CAI+ Supersprint cat back+ teflon coated intake & intercooler snorkels showed 170 WHP Gee now that I've teflon coated the intercooler & ceramic coated the stock header & installed a -15% pulley I must have at least 230 WHP I don't dare go to Helix

If you're right bowman...I'm really bummed My last dyno last year without WMS cylinder head/WMS 62mm TB/H20-methanol injection/AGS/light FW gave me 192 whp. This was at a group run where stock Minis were reading 155whp which validates to me my rating. Now you guys are saying that I wasted all that time and effort since last year? Hmmm...the guy I left in the GTO from a 70mph WOT was convinced that I had a little more than 200hp. I've been made aware that my N2O is a 60hp shot so what's the math add up to kill a GTO? 60 + 192 = 252 against a 400hp rwd? That doesn't sound right. Try 220 + 60 = 280

Hi Sid.....

Sorry, but 190+ is about right....On a dyno that is calibrated to give proper
hp numbers, not stroking your ego (lots of those out there) a 200hp number is very hard to come by with traditional tuning methods.
As for your run in with the GTO, many variables has to account for his loss to your MINI. Just for instance....weight Delta which is in the 1000lbs range
a very slow gear box, a lousy driver etc....

Yuor best dyno is still going to be inacurate for a boosted car. What a dyno is good at is allowing you to make timed measurements of changes in hp torque, fuel mix & any sensor you have a probe for. Forget actual #s whats useful is being able to document the location & changes +/- in the #s as you make changes to the car. Just keep using the same dyno!

I dynoed my car at Helix on the Mustang dyno just at 193.5whp with a vacuum leak from the AGS. Eric claims thatis the highest number he's seen from a non twincharged mini and was thoroughly impressed. I on the other hand was wondering why the numbers were so low.
After removing the AGS, the car dynoed at 236whp on a dynojet at a local Lexus tuner. I am waiting to go back to Helix, but i can assure you it wont be anywhere near 236whp on that dyno.

I have had similar experiences with 5 different dynos

No prize........I am just continued to be surprised at the disparity in dynos and claims that are made........If you belive one school my car should be 230 or so....if you believe the other it will be 180 or so.......my car has read both. So what's a consumer to believe. If you buy parts from a company claiming 265 and you go to Helix and read 175 ........ However, Eric is not the only one with a conservative dyno. So if a tuner develops some parts that make 215 whp on his dyno which might read 240 on someones elses he is not being judged correctly. The consumer who is unknowing may buy a lesser part thinking he is getting more (work with me...I have not had enough caffiene yet) So this post was not meant as a game but rather a reality check on the fact that there are NO standards ..... which has left me a little frustrated.

Well. as you can see this thread has become a discussion of the fact that there are differences in dynos and the numbers that they produce.
MSFit's comments border on a type of humor that is dark in nature and that i choose not to participate in. Calling someone dumb is not my idea of a mature exchange in this forum. If you think i'm soft and sensitive then perhaps we can have that conversation in person.

when i was tweaking my rig, the best I got on Helix' Mustang dyno was about 189. that was with Endyn head, header, throttle body, cam, 19%, One-click, ecu mod

the next week, I took the car to Hubie for the Apexi install and tune; he first did a baseline (Dynojet) and got about 190. After the tune, he had 198...couldn't quite get ot 200. two weeks later, bigger injectors and a re-tune, he got 213.

next time I dynoed at helix (10 months later)...189, with no prep, and pretty hot IAT. In my opinion, this last run was low due to extra blower heat, still not yet addressed

At Helix, i think stock minis make 146 or 149 whp. An 05 JCW with other mods made 183. The 90+ degree day i wass there, we synod 2 cars with head work and a bunch of ther stuff. One was 189 and ours was 193. Eric has offered that anyone with supercharger only mini that makes over 200whp on his dyno gets a free dyno. So, between going on a day when the temp is more suited for dynos and the fact that we got rid of the vacuum leak, i'm waiting for my free dyno at Helix. He's doing some work on the car now, so if there is an opportunity for it to happen, we will keep you posted.

Spider, what are you really after? Confirmation that part X gains Y HP?

If, in fact, there is no standard, whats the point (unless your realling racing). See http://dinancars.com/whitepapersFile.asp?ID=9

Isn't the real test what makes you happy? I'm not trying to be funny or facetious but a number is a number. If you smile as you motor on ... priceless

Now with Randy new exhaust ... beyond priceless

No problem , if you feel the need to prove your a "tuff guy". maybe in person you might not be so offended, that chart is still funny as hell. I don't see how he called you dumb, his chart showed how he felt.....dude get a grip. If you feel the need to meet up let me know...I will put you on the schedule

Well, I guess you cant seem to take a joke either. The fact that you cant see his lack of humor and you actually thought the chart was funny may suggest something about your ability to read and interpret graphs and comprehend what is being said. And I can assure that i do have a very firm grip. But this is a thread on dynos, not this child's play. Peace be with you. I have no more to say on this. :smile:
