Dyno numbers on my old 59' yellow wagon!

#1 (**permalink**) 01-31-2005, 06:05 AM

Hello all I just had my old yellow wagon dyno'ed at a local shop over the weekend and was somewhat happy with the figures it put out. It makes 500HP "OK it really says 499.5 on the graph. and it makes 790 ft lbs of torque.. Very cool I must say. It still has some improvement to be done to it but this is a great start. I will try to post the Graph now. Hope it works.

It's me again: Can I email my graph to someone so they can post it here? Or can anyone tell me how to post a pic here again? Thanks.

You need to find one of the free picture sites or something similar to host it and then just put the URL address in between these --> [IMG][/IMG]
or you can email it to me and I'll post it for you. pribil13@yahoo.com
BTw: what do you have in that yellow wagon of yours?

Sorry for all of the links to check out but this was the only way I could list the pics of the car and the dyno graph. Hope you all like.

BTW: The car has a Ford 466, Twin Turbo, Intercooled, Fuel injected, Motor. All built at home in my garage. I am totally into home built bikes or cars. I cant stand people who just whip out there wallet and buy something cool for others to ohh and ahh about.

I like the car great work- but it is the wrong color.

and I bet it is a pain in the ass to change the rear tires

Impressed!. Very tidy set of wheels. Great effort.

Okay, I know who you are! For some reason I thought you worked with the Dunlop guys for a while...

What's up??? I saw your post about looking for a new bike, and I didn't put it together. D'oh!

It is a total pain in the A$$ to chance the rear tires and it is due for a new set already. The rear end has to be taken out to get the tires off. There is just no other way to get the tires to fit the way I want them. I cant stand the look of a tubbed car with tires that are 5 inchs inset into the fender well. Well its all about the LOOK! OH! and now the performance. He He. I should sell rides in this car to buy a new set of tires. Anyone up for it. It is a little scary to ride in. It does have killer brakes though but only has a full harness for the driver.

Now I will love to see what this car can do with the new non slipping tranny. I will also take it to the drag strip and see what kind of time it can do now. My best run so far is a 12.60 at 112 mph and the 60ft. sucked it was a 2.4 sec. 60 ft. time. Well i will hope for the best. The trans should be done this wed.
