F-Body Europe

Got to dyno the car today. The numbers were:
341.2 hp and 371.5 ftp. I am happy with the numbers, but it begs the question: Why couldn't I break into the 13's at Bitburg? Oh, wait a minute; the driver sucked. Forgot about that part.

That dyno was sweet. He gave me two sheets, one with the numbers and chart the other with power in 200rpm increments. Only did one pull, but it is supposed to be the one of the newest uberdynos in Germany. He does dyno tuning also, so I think another trip there is in my future. Besides the F1 race. If I ever get my ticket.

With those numbers you should be in the deep 12's. Do you have drag radials? That was the best upgrade I made to my car this winter. Went from 2.35 60' to 1.97.

Where was the dyno? How much did it cost?

NICE #s!!! Hey I would like to know too!!!! Where is it & how much??? Did he say anything about the $$$ for the tune??? I'll be putting on a bunch of goodies on when I get home and would like to see the gains....praying for the 400hp mark!!!

The place is called Boemanns-motorsport. It is in Mullenbach. Its easy to find. Just get on the B257 like you are going to the N-ring. Just outside Mullenbach, turn right and then right again at the first intersection you see. You will see a small industrial park. Boemanns is directly at the end of the street. Its a white building with green trim and a green fence. It cost 76 euro, but like I said, its the newest and most accurate dyno in Germany. He has only had it a year, testing it for the manufacturer. One other thing; it also corrects for an "average day". 60 degrees at sea level, I forget what humidity. (My FAA test was a long time ago!) With the correction, I made 364.2 hp.

I forgot to ask about $$$ for the dyno tune, I was still giggling like school girl. I guess I will have to get some drag radials. I hear good things about Nittos; any others I should look at? I will mount them on my stock 16's if I do get them.

Nice numbers. What all you have done to it? Not doubting your dyno shop but I'll believe it when I see when they say they can tune. I've heard that so many times over the past 4 yrs it's not even funny anymore.

I'll be making my way up there someday just to see what I put down this go around.

Not bad! Sounds like you need slicks so you can hook up. You did upgrade your rear, right? If not, start shopping... If you're gonna spend the $$$, just get slicks if you plan on swapping them out at the track.

Upgrade as far as what? I put on a new diff cover that has a stud kit to preload the bearings, but it still has the stock 3:42's. I couldn't find anyone I could trust to do the install. As I understand it, a 10 bolt should be able to handle up to 400 to the wheels. Does that sound right? I still have all the stuff, I was going to put it on when I get back to the States, or sooner if bad things happen.

Sticky tires + hard launches = time for a new rear. GM got around this problem by ensuring that there would be a lack of traction before bad stuff happens.
I have EVERYTHING needed to rebuild my rear, just can't find anyone that CAN do it right.

I got mine dynoed at the VW dealer in K-town. It was a good guess but it took 4 people in my hatch to hold the car down and I still shut the dynoe down at 5200 rpm. I guess lack of traction or they couldn't read up that high, I guess I had to many ponies for that little dyno to handle. What a great feeling It gave me that day two thumbs up. I drove out and watched everyone squint there eyes from my rich problem, great day!!!!!!!!!!!
