Well got the car dyno'ed on the weekend and put down...
145whp
148wtq
My AFR is alot higher than I would like it, turns out my LC1 isn't reading my AFR properly (gauge shows 12.7-13.0 under WOT) so its tuned to a higher AFR than I would like.
All mods are listed in my Reg, tuned to 13.5 AFR (apparently) with around 30.5 degrees max timming advance, no knock.
PS. The car is very loud because I had my exhaust Cut-Out open for the pulls.
Hmmm we have almost the same exact mods except for some suspension stuff and the le5 intake mani oh and of course the lsd. My home track is below sea level looks like I'm going to have to get to the dyno and track. Very nice times, its keeps my n/a dreams alive.
There is a guy at my track who is running a civic hatch with 165whp and he runs anywhere between 13.8 and 14.2. It just boggles my mind how some cars run so well with little horsepower.
I think the motor had more in it, I think I might of went a bit to far with the tune and lost some power, lots of cobalt guys are making around 160whp with the exact same setup.

Back to the drawing board for next season!!
That is what i was thinking you had for power, about 160ish

The power dropped off more than i'd expect after 6k RPM. The crate engine depot dyno show a flatter power curve to 7krpm. Granted that was on a MAF fueled cobalt, but we should be able to achieve the same results with tuning. Did you get to do any tuning in between pulls? 30.5* sounds high for the bottom right of the map, but i could be wrong.
oldskool - I was a little disapointed about the the power curve drop off as well...this could be due to tuning tho. I didn't do any tuning between the pulls, it was a just a local dyno day.
30.5* is alot of timing, I thinking it might be too much way to much timing, I believe stock max timing is around 21-22? So I'm up almost 10 degrees over stock. Funny thing is even with the AFR being so high and that much timing I still don't get any knock.
I'm definitly going to rent some dyno time for next season and get this thing dialed in with the new winter mods.
