Guess my HP game (w/ prizes)!! Options

[boosted_K2]

well because over the weekend i ran into a large boost leak problem, and dont have time to troubleshoot it myself, i was forced to bring my car down to novi this morning and have the good people at godspeed work on it. I am also getting a leakdown and compression test done on the car, the owner also suggested i get a base dyno done, so i agreed.

so here we go for you so called 3sgte gurus, guess the peak HP i will make! and for a tie breaker also guess peak torque.

winner gets a copy of the dyno and a nice picture of the car... if someone can guess the exact HP i will also throw in a slightly used copy of Need For Speed Underground 2 for PS2.

guessing will be closed april 28th at noon (eastern standard time )!! good luck 1 guess per person!

welp, no one wins the NFSU2 game unfortunatly.

the winner is JGreening with a guess of 219 HP. Congratulations... as for your prize i am picking up the car on friday and will get a copy of the dyno and i also have 2 autocrosses the weekend of may 7th, so i will be sure to get some pictures and have one professionally enlarged for you

the verdict is 197 WHP, i dont have the chart yet to see what the torque was.

basically theres a few things this means, and its not too far off from what i expected. i was expecting around 215-220HP because nothing is really tuned on it, and especially after hearing my odd compression numbers. I am really left questioning if there are other things done to my motor that i am not aware about. I was discussing this yesterday with supersprynt, and i am left wondering if i really am running factory rods as i was told, or if i am running shorter rods or possably some type of altered or aftermarket crank to shorten the stroke, the engine is extremely healthy yet im running a very low compression with mods that should supposedly raise compression... i may also be having some unwanted cam overlap, possably due to a timing issue... or might even have aftermarket cams all togeather... since all the cylinders are even, i highly doubt its anything as far as leakage from valves or anything in that nature. another possability could be the piston rings used. like i told super im going to have to go through all my receipts from the motor rebuild that i have and see if anything in there reveals why my comp is low. Reguardless this motor was built for ALOT more boost than i have been feeding it and alot more than a CT20b can provide. so now i know the direction this motor needs to go and my original plan to build off the CT20b turbo and mild platform upgrades is out the window. she needs something bigger
