V6 Camaro Dyno numbers are in!!

Also featured on homepage.

Just got back from the shop. The goal of the day was simply to get *baseline* numbers, so we can justify the real world gains of anything added to the car. Info below:


Dyno type: Mustang
Filter value: 33
Air temp: 78F
Humidity: 83% (ouch)
Car: 2010 Camaro
Engine: 3.6L V6 Direct Injection
Trans: 6L50 6spd automatic
Mod: Bone stock, right down to the plastic still on my carpet.
Octane: 87 (lol)

Best run:
246RWHP | 220lbs/tq

Notes:
* Torque curve is basically flat from 2500 to 5800, dipping by the 6900 mark

* HP curve is a steady arc, flattening out right at redline

* Factory tune is PIG RICH , holding down in the 11.4 range through the bulk of the run. There is a good bit of power hiding in just a tune.

* We did a run w/ the AC on just for fun - you can see clearly where it was shut off. Lots of power loss at the accy :(






Overall, the numbers are spot on with their factory ratings through an automatic. The exhaust and intake is going to do wonders for the car. The over-rich tune from factory, and the high speed processing capabilities of the Motec ME9 are just begging this motor to be turbo/supercharged.

More to follow throughout the next week or so as parts start to trickle in

Cheers!

You are the man!

I was hoping that torque curve would be nice and flat.

I'm shocked at how rich it's running! I wonder how much boost could be used on stock fuel levels before it starts to knock from leaning out. But not something I'd ask anyone to try heh.

That's fantastic news on the dyno run! Congrats maddmaxx!

You just cemented my V6 order!

Sweet!! Thanks for posting the results so fast. Can't wait to see the graph. I'd like to see what the VVT does for the torque curve. And 11.4:1 = ouch. Good tune, CAI and exhaust and I'll put money on this motor breaking 300RWHP. Exciting stuff!

I seriously doubt that a CAI,tune and exhaust is going to net you 54rwhp on the V6, but the numbers are great in any case.

True... 54 is a lot. I got over zealous. The V-8's are getting about 45 with all that, so maybe 280 for the V-6? 275?

Caddy guys guys proximately 31rwhp on their M6 car w/ catback and CAI. Tune and LT's would *really* help this motor.

54rwhp may be a tall order, but 40ish should be possible.... either way, lots of potential in this little gem.

Nice results, you should try and get to the track for some real-world results at the drag strip before you start modifying the car.

I'm new to this, but that AFR sounds pretty low. Are some of the more experienced guys thinking the CAI will boost that a bit? Any guesses where it might come out with just a CAI or perhaps CAI and cat-back?

The AFR is far richer than I'd expect for an NA platform. Right now, there isn't much ability to tune directly -- although with a signal augmentation (ie: piggyback) setup, we may be able to trick the ECU into leaning the mix out a bit.

Flattest. Torque curve. Ever.

This is why Chevy's next V-8 should be a 6.2L DOHC VVT DI engine.

Are you looking at a different curve that I don't see? This is the V6 engine...
