I'm gonna post this in this thread as well as it's applicable...


Here is the best SAE dyno result.

After much discussion, lively at times here is the SAE best dyno ( Gibson mod and Volant), this is the best way to determine gains from mods in naturally aspirated internal combustion engines because it takes all variables out of the equation, altitude, weather, ect.

SAE with just Gibson was a best of 264.36 rwhp = 330.45 bhp
308.47 rwtq = 385.58 btq

SAE after the Volant was a best of 275.86 rwhp = 344.825 bhp
341.59 rwtq = 426.98 btq

Take away all possible variables it is now safe to say I gained

14.375 rwhp = 17.96 bhp
41.155 rwtq = 51.443 btq

The gains are significant, accurate and are proven, there is nothing left to dispute finally...

I find it interesting that I gained pretty much exactly what Volant claims as far as the max torque gain of 40. Add flywheel to that and where looking at 51 btq at the engine. Nice, 18 HP at the engine. Right about what Volant claims.

So it has been PROVEN that Volants claims are factual in my situation with the Gibson mod. I as many have always been skeptical what manufactures claim on their dyno's but this has been substantiated in my independent testing as far as the Volant in my case.

I hope all this info helps and it has been very interesting and I am grateful for everyones contributions. I hope this discussion inspires some to mod it up...... Hope to test something new soon.
