1-17-03: Put the PT on the Dyno for the first time.I went to AllSpeed in Peachtree City, GA, where I got 3 pulls for $50!If you want to contact AllSpeed, call them at 770-631-DYNO.They not only have a Dyno, but they also do tuning, maintenance, and sell and install any kind of performance or exterior add-on.Tell them Jack from Hella sent you.
The car has just under 20k miles and the conditions at the time of the runs were as follows: Temp-70.9 Faranheit - Baramoteric Pressure-29.1 Inches.
The first run was done to get a baseline for the stock vehicle, as it stood, with absolutely no mods.This included using the stock paper air filter (which is the one that's been in the car since new).The oil is Mobile 1 5W-30.In stock form, the car hit a Peak HP of 180.0 and Peak Torque of 215.6.
For pull #2, the only thing I did was remove the paper filter and replace it with a drop-in K&N Air Filter, which was fresh out of the package.Oddly, the Peak HP DROPPED to 178.2(Using the Correction Factor of 1.01 is was nearly the same at 179.98HP), but the cool thing is that the Peak Torque INCREASED to 227.1(Corrected to 229.37)! I'll take Torque over HP any day!
For pull #3, I wanted to verify something that I had always suspected helps me at the track.I simply removed the Negative Battery Cable for a couple of minutes to reset the PCM.What this does is put the car back into 'Learning Mode', and it is much more flexible with the amount of fuel/timing/etc. that it will give you while it's learning your driving style.This is a good thing to do if you've been driving the car normally for a while, then go to the track, or get ready to engage in some Street Fighter action.The result? The Peak HP went up to 182.8(Corrected to 184.63), and even better the Torque jumped up to 235.5(Corrected to 237.86)!!!This was also with the drop-in K&N.Needless to say, I was pleased, going from 215.6 to 235.5 on the torque side by simply buying a $30 filter and disconnecting the battery!
As you can see from the scans (which include Temp. Pressure, and Correction Factor), the Max Torque was at 3220RPM and the Max HP was at about 5000RPM.

All in all, I'm glad that I did this baseline to get a starting point from which to measure.
I strongly suggest that before you do *any* mods, that you consider doing the same, and call AllSpeed at 770-631-DYNO for an appointment!
