A local shop had a dyno day and I went to check the place out and a few of my friends were going to be testing and tweaking their cars. At the end of the day they had a few slots open so I figured why not. 30 bucks for 3 pulls.
The XJ: Stock engine with 177K, K&N air filter that hasn't been cleaned in over a year, stock exhaust with cracked header and a vacuum leak, 5 speed, ford 8.8 with 3.73 gears on 31's.
This is a 3rd gear pull. The first two pulls were within a few hp and a few ft-lbs of this one.
Peak HP: 133.1 @ 4650
Peak TQ: about 164 @ 2650
There's a video of this somewhere.
EDIT: The AFR meter was not hooked up.
At least now I'll have a baseline to compare my new engine to, whenever I get around to building it. I beat a Sunfire with a fart can by 20HP
