How much torque are you making in your K5?

[colbystephens]

just thought it'd be fun to know.

No idea, never had it on a dyno.

 

[MTMike]

Never dynoed... It's a ~10.5:1cr 383 stroker so I would hope it's over 400.

 

[BranndonC]

yay. a post just for me lol

 

[rjfguitar]

I'm around 425 in mine...

 

[hack500]

I got a truck not a blazer... still want to know?

 

[y5mgisi]

My 500 ought to have aboot 450 or so when i get er back on the road. my 350 on the other hand MABEY 250 at the flex plate.

i can barely spin my tires in mud. no joke.

so your username must not be referring to the duration of your cam shaft then, but maybe the duration of a different shaft? just teasing.

on 9c1.com they say my motor stuck is 195hp/295lb ft torque so not sure now as I just added a comp cams xtreme 4x4 cam, vortec heads and vortec intake

 

[jaysonsk5]

i had run the desktop dyno program on my bbc and it say somethink like 490 hp and 550 tq. take away 30% for the driveline, under 400 foot lbs at the wheels? all i know is it runs a whole lot better than the 10.5 to 1 355 that i ran for a year or so. it will turn em over easy now

 

[Burt4x4]

I assume you ment at the engine and not at the tires?
About 550 +- crank torque
389 at the tires

 

[jaysonsk5]

yep, maybe i should have said that would be at the flex plate, sorry

 

[steve_kibbe]

i'm nekkid and i got all the torque i need in my cajones!!

Hard to descide which to vote with an option like this

 

[hunterguy86]

Stock 305. I aint got nothin. Sucks even more now w/ 35's and 3.73 gears.

 

[Leper]

There is not an option low enough for me. My truck has trouble accellerating downhill.

Hi all

An interesting computer program for dyno simulation is "Desktop Dyno".
Write-ups on it place it easily within -/+5%. You can experiment with different setups by changing cam specs, advancing & retarding cam, exhaust & header sizes, intake & carb sizes & types, various heads & porting, etc....change just about everything....quite interesting....ESPECIALLy checking out different cams before purchasing.

 

[lrazer]

how does this desktop dyno work?
how much does it cost?

 

[SUPER'BURB]

50k miles ago I made a bit over 400 at the crank. So I think I am more like 370-380 now.

My neighbor builds motors (all Mopar mostly Hemi's) using programs like this and has found them to be very accurate even on 700+ hp motors.

Side note not hijack: His work is very cool. Some ditsributorless, fuel injected stuff. Check it out here.... www.moparengineswest.com
