Dyno results, dissapointing......

If you are debating a cam swap then all of your current carb tuning is wasted effort. Do the cam swap, then tune the carb

I understand that but, It is interesting me to see how much I can do with what I have first. It's a learning experience for me, and really apreciate your help. I am trying to get the most out of it without spending too much $$ at first. My time is cheap and it's a great hobby.

I had the car on another chassis dyno. Link to that thread.        http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,95693.0.html

It seems what I have done to the carb, jetted down 2 sizes in the primary's, and went to a weaker spring in the secondary vacuum diaphram, has netted some gains. It is a totally different dyno machine. But the numbers are going up. If I can believe them? Gained 4 HP, and 58 TQ from the previuos dyno pull.

If I can believe these numbers that little 360 is making 290 HP and 420 TQ at the crank using 20% losses. Thats a lot of torque for a stock stroke small block.

the only way to find out true HP is go to the drag strip,,,was it really 32 deg temp when it was tested? the correction factor was .95% so on that day it actually made 244 hp

No it was not. We are in the 80's this time of year. Cloudy yesterday as well, humidity up a bit when clouds are overhead, maybe 20% humidity yesterday.

i added to my previous post,,the correction factor is not right then

if #s are correct your car at 3900lbs should run 14.15 @ 95 mph in the 1/4
