I had my truck on a dyno this weekend, just because I wanted to see what it had stock. It made
166.6hp @4352 and
223.2 ft. lbs @2939

This was completely stock, not drivetrain modifications at all. 20k miles.

Here's a video of one run, it's in quicktime format... sorry.

Holy sweet mother of crap look at that dropoff. I for one really appreciate that bro, I got the same drivetrain setup as you and now I know where I'm at :thumbup:

 

[German_Xtreme]

I'm gonna bump this for you so maybe other people will see how they're numbers are stock

 

[obrien]

was that on a dyno jet? what was the weather like?

 

[03zq8]

It was a Dynapack Chasis Dyno. The weather was 35*F and clear. Don't have any barometer readings or anything.

 

[03zq8]

in case anyone else wants to see...ttt

maybe this is a dumb question but do you have the 4.3? my stock 4.3 manual says the HP is closer to 180/190, and ft/lb i looked up on the vortec website at about 270.

 

[obrien]

Those are pretty good numbers. I need to dyno again with the cold air and low himidity and see what I can put down now.

Thats power at the crank, his #'s are at the wheels theres a big difference.

 

[03zq8]

Yes my horsepower at the flywheel is "supposed" to be 180. It is either higher than that or my drivetrain is really efficient, that is only a 8% loss in hp (if the power is indeed 180 at the crank).

 

[obrien]

I think stock tq is supposed to be 245.

 

[MoNkEyZQ8]

Damn 5-speeds..:chomp:

---------------------


You're torque is falling off pretty quickly.. I wonder whats going on....

Edit.. well maybe not.. thats a tricky graph they got there..

 

[03zq8]

Yes stock torque is supposed to be 245 ft-lbs at 2800. So that would be a 9% loss in torque if it is 245 at the flywheel. Yeah that graph had me a little worried too, then i looked at the y-scale.

 

[obrien]

@ 9% thats about 220.

I need to dyno again and see what I make with this cold air. Mabey I will get on a dyno jet and see if my numbers jump up even more...

 

[03zq8]

@ 9% thats about 220.

Your saying that you should have about 220 hp at the crank?

wheel torque not brake torque

and the torque curve does that because of the higher push and pull effort to move the air in and out + friction.

huh?

 

[97LOWNOMA]

I was told that all 03 and new 4.3's come with 190hp 2wd and 200hp 4wd.

 

[G60_Likes_2_Break]

wheel torque is less than torque at the flywheel from drivetrain friction losses mainly.

wheel torque being the torque at the wheels....is what the dyno tells you

torque curve falls off because ...

the amount of power..i.e. torque robber in this case goes up basically squared (2x speed = 4x harder)

same with friction... dont want to get into that too much, but oil wedges get smaller and the pressure goes up but it all causes a loss making the engine, numb its ability to accelerate quick on its own not even counting a load on it.


thats just engine related... not counting drivetrain components & mass of everything after the crank-
