hmmm... I've seen bone-stock NA1's 5spds dyno anywhere from 237.5 to 242.5 (obviously I've omitted the highest/lowest examples). My stock 1991 5spd w/ 75k miles at the time of the dyno showed pulls of 239-240rwhp. Only addition to my NSX is the K&N drop-down filter.
Are you saying a bone-stock NA1 motor should dyno at about 220rwhp?!?
(time to call FactorX or GerryJohnon!!!)
LOL note I did say I used a pessimistic dyno.
I wouldn't be surprised if my car pulled 290+ rwhp on some of the dynos. I'm not after high HP #'s. I'm after the HP gain on the same dyno. That's why I regret not having a baseline to compare with.
With the variability of dynos, and operator errors, high HP #'s don't matter to me (they are not absolute, in reference to other dynos). What matters to me is that the car never feels wanting for power or torque, and I think I have achieved that.
If I pull hard on an NSX that has greater acclaimed HP #'s on a dyno, then the dyno #'s don't mean very much to me.
I actually am ecstastic with my NSX. It has huge HP #'s, relatively speaking, compared to a stock NSX. It has a well balanced portfolio of performance mods - engine, suspension, transmission, carbon fiber parts in lieu of some stock parts, and some visual enhancements both exterior and interior. It also is extremely durable and reliable, and I can beat on it all day long if I wish (although most of the time I pamper it).
I am currently in "maintenance mode", meaning I can't think of any other mods that I'd do to my car to make it any better, other than some minor stuff, such as HIDs, etc. So I'm in hog heaven. :tongue:
