Hey guys,
Running through the stock cat, using the "quiet" muffler option, and running without an upgraded lower IC pipe (being fabricated) my setup is basicly identical to the Buschur Racing BR 350 setup at the moment.
I was not able to get a baseline run on Dave Buschurs dyno, but the only other MR he has dynoed baselined at 220 wheel HP, and the average baseline HP for the GSR's he has dynoed was also about 220 wheel HP... so I will consider 220 a realistic starting point.
My final numbers were 270 wheel HP and 266 lb-ft of torque.
The SST transmission overides the Engine ECU if you are making too much torque and reduces power by going to part throttle at low to mid range RPM's and then wide open throttle in the upper RPM's.
In short, the SST cars (stock turbo and cams) are limited to aprox 50 HP higher than what comes from the factory at this time. I suspect that a turbo or cam upgrade would raise top end power, leaving torque readings where they are now.
Eventually there will be programer systems for the trasmission control unit, and upgraded clutch packs available... until then we are limited by the built in safety features of the transmission. I will be taking the car back to the track to see how a bit more torque and a lot more HP affects 1/4 mile times in the MR.
