i've saw a few for V8's but none for 2.8s. I'm talkin about one w/ like HP@RPM from low end to high end. All the way thru the rpms. NE one know where I could find one?

------------------
1986 Berlinetta, 2.8L, newly rebuilt 700R4, 3.42 Posi. 130K miles and counting, K&N air filters.
Wins:
1996 Mustang
1994ish Olds Acheiva
1994ish Saturn SC1
Losses:
1999 Grand Am SE
1996ish Honda Accord (twice)
1990ish Vette (never should have been dumb enough to race a vette in the V6)

 

Sorry I can't help you but if you get hold of one could you please send me a copy of it? My e-mail is rmk@totalise.co.uk

Thanks and goodluck

Sure, it'd be no problem at all. I wanna see how many hp the auto is zapping out of my car, since the thing shifts so early.

 

For a fuel injected or carb?I will post one for a carb if you want.It is an edlebrock intake with a 4bbl or a 2bbl.I can't remember which.If you want I will find it.

I have seen it before I'll post the link when I find the url

I think this is what you want http://pages.prodigy.net/cvdinc/interest.htm

just click Drivetrain list (others)
and it tells hp and torque for the v6's

here are your stats
by the way I have the exact same year model car that had that engine until I swapped to a 3.4

yr model tran. engine cr Disp.
code
86 Brln M5,A4 LB8 V6 8.9:1 2.8 (173)
HP Torque in duct Man. Auto
135@5100 160@3900 MFI 3.42 ---- 3.42 ----

 

It needs to be FI. What I'm looking for is not just the peak HP and TQ, but for the numbers all the way thru the RPMs. Like going from 1000 RPMs all the way to redline.

 

Sorry havent every seen it for v-6's

 

You mean a chassis (or engine) dyno report? I haven't seen one for a 2.8 either; I don't think anybody's run one.

My mechanic said he could (he bought the chassis dyno for NJ's emissions testing), but I never followed up with it. Maybe in the spring I will...

Yeah a dyno report is what I'm thinkin of. Hey if ya get one done next spring lets us know the details.

 

shift the car manually if you think it is zapping that much HP

------------------
91 RS W/carbed 350, Vortec heads, performer rpm, Comp cams Xtreme energy 280 grind. BFG Drag radials. 3.42 posi,Corvette servoed 700r4, ****ty stock converter
13.24@104

 

I realized it was zapping power when I lost to an Escort Zx2, 5 speed the other night. I think I read somewhere that they only had like 120 some hp. I don't have a tach but I'm thinking it's shifting at about 3500 rpms when I floor it down. That's 1600 rpms off peak hp. I'd adjust on the tv cable if I really wanted it to shift that high all the time, but just for everyday driving it's ok. Next time I race someone I'll try to remember to manual shift it. In the spur of the moment I'm luck to remember to take it out of overdrive.

 

Vortec, the HP lost would still be the same, shifting manually or not. Line pressure is increased almost two-fold when the stick's in first or second, so a firmer shift is a good possibility with shifting manually- BUT, the engine still has to go through a fluidically-coupled torque convertor, not a mechanically coupled clutch.

those ZX\2's are pretty quick. Last year I raced one to 120-130 and I had him off the line then he had me to 70, then we went back and forth from 70 on up. It was a tie.
