Newbie here (dyno&track times inside also)!

[hoopdiewagon]

Hello people! Im from New Mexico and this is my wifes second PT Cruiser (this GT is the first fast one though ).
I hope to learn alot from you all!
Fastest 1/4 time for her is a 15.3@91.7. Now this is at 5300' (Albuq is at altitude) so if you sea level correct is a 14.3
This is her dyno sheet:

200whp/225wtq
This is with my wife driving both on the dyno and at the strip. Also, this Cruiser was bone stock when both of these were achieved! I finished installing her exhaust this week so we will hopefully get out to the track tommorrow and see some results!

Am I seeing that dyno sheet right? MAX torque is 290 but MAX power is 200!? Oh, and the elevation does not effect turbo motors that much at all. Maybe .2 to .3 on the ET. Where did you get it dynoed at? I am also in ABQ and am looking for a place to dyno my SRT. I guess DCX didnt underrate the GT cruiser's power numbers then.

Where do you figure those ET correction numbers from? This was dyno'd at Speed Dreams, but there ahs honestly been some controversy over this dyno graph, so until I get another one done, Im considering it null. I have no idea why the torque on those runs are so high, they say tranny spikes, but damn! They told me the 3rd run is really the only good one on that graph, but I know it all seems funny, but is the only one I have.

There are only 2 dynos in town (Dyno Edge on Juan Tabo) and (Speed Dreams on Commanche by UPS). Speed Dreams has a really nice facility and the guys are pretty nice. They are used to RWD cars but they did my wifes Cruiser and my Accord there. Good place
