Stock CL65 dyno results...

My car now has 16,000 miles on it. Finally had a chance to get it up on the ol' dynojet. I was very pleasantly surprised with the numbers: 559 rwhp 670 rw ftlbs.

Even without the 1% SAE correction, the car made 550 rwhp and 660 ft lbs. I am the 2nd owner, but I have no evidence that the car was tuned previously. I know for a fact the 155mph limiter is still intact, as you can see by the curve dropping off at 5200 rpm in 4th gear.

Even the A/F ratio was spot on, definitely not as rich as I expected for a stock tune. We had to use the optical sensor with a piece of tape on the harmonic balancer to pick up RPM, and finding a vacuum line to measure boost just wasn't possible.

The car trapped at 120 mph in the quarter previously, at curb weight of 4600 lbs with abysmal traction here in Houston (at sea level.)

awesome numbers, what was your ET with that 120 MPH trap? can you post the slip numbers?

ET's were terrible due to the burnout box spanning the whole width of the lane, requiring me to drive through the water. Despite doing a burnout, I know there was water on the tires. ESP was active until nearly half track. Best 60 ft was in the 2.2 range with me babying it, best ET was 12.3. I think the traction was bad enough to even adversely affect the mph a bit.
