Mate,
My N/A VL pulled 180rwhp at Redcliffe Dyno Performance in Shoot-out mode. However, people on this forum have told me that their dyno reads high. Anyway got it booked in at chiptorque on the Gold Coast in 2 weeks for another dyno run.
Regards,
joel

The thread maybe going dead as there are not too many people dyno tuning their NA VL's or that people do not want to give out their figures. Why do you want to know how much power people's NA VL's are producing?

gr8 2 hear, i dont think n e body here called u a liar, people have just used educated guess 2 say their dyno reading was inaccurate which isnt a good thing 2 hear cause i think they are a certified dyno dynamics dynomometer which is supposed 2 be trustworthy, it'll b good 2 c ur results, it'll clear up any doubts

well most people will tune their n/a's for low-mid end stuff, sacraficing top end power for sum decent torque so a dyno might not be giving much important info at all unless you could sumhow get a flywheel torque reading from a dyno test

id like to see more N/A VL reading aswell as im looking to build a fast non turbo just to be different. Only mine is an Rb25de which is 134fwkw stock. But im looking to build up on that and hopefully compare it with an Rb30e with very similar mods to see the difference a twin cam head does. hopefully i will surprise alot of people.
