Why is the torque number that low? Due to converter unlocking? Did the converter not lock in at all during the runs?
Don’t know why, but I was expecting more along the lines of 1100-1200ft lbs. Maybe VE limited?
Not knocking the numbers but just curious. Glad you found a dyno and hored it out.
That plot shown is with everything working as it should, in OD with converter locked.
I think it would be fair to say a number of things have changed since the former build.
- Different piston-bowl profile that includes a CC or so reduction in volume.
- A little over twice the charge-air volume available with things at full-song (+/-).
- Said profound increase in charge-air volume necessitated retarding the static injection-timing a bit compared to the former build.
- I think the lock-up converter introduces an entire new load dynamic to the engine as a whole, compared the the former non lock-up mess. I'm still recognizing/identifying all that for later ciphering over a shot or six of moonshine.
Meh, all said and done, I'm up a very comfortably cool 140ft/lbs.
On that last note, I've just arrived at the coast after a 155 mile trip of about half 70ish mph, and the balance 45/55 mph. A little over a quarter tank if you believe the stock gauge. At 70, the spinny-things appear to be just lit good and present with around 10~15lbs boost at the head. As such, the phacker jumps surprisingly if you lean into it. It's fun to drive. :woohoo:
Otherwise, an uneventful trip with no stems & seeds that you don't need. :Cheer:
