Dyno graph thats been bugging me

IndiEP · 03-16-2005

I pulled this off of www.importreview.com, they have a lot of dyno plots from various cars/swaps/mods. There are other graphs on there that are the subject of controversy but this one just bugs me. I never really gave cam gears much thought on dsms untill later stages in engine work but somethings up here.

"1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo.
Stock turbo kit, stock motor.
Exhaust aftermarket.
APEX Super AFC
AEM Cam Gears.* (Man they are HUGE!)
Some cam gear adjustments...+2,-2
Our tuning here achieved over 20 HP at the wheels
in points, as you can see...JUST FROM CAM GEARS.
BOTH run 1 and run 11 are at the STOCK BOOST. (same boost both runs)
Cam gears made 20 HP+.* Good for them.
haha Customer was so happy.* WOW. Who said Cam gears don't do that much?
Answer to them:* KNOW YOUR ROLE AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"

So supposedly they messed with the cam gears and then made what it was suppose to make stock? Ok.

Was the timing set properly before the cam gears were installed?

Well exactly, you don't know where in the world the gears were at to start with. And then you have a shop acting like their the man for correcting someones mistake. I found another 2G dyno from the same shop, and there it is again, cam gears.

That should enough right there. Honda guys are always impressed by the size of DSM cam gears. It's nice that they got the HP up to stock at least.

i dont know if their math is wrong or im reading this wrong but 180 - 168 is 12 not 20.
