Mike Ward Racing Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Yesterday, we had the opportunity to dyno a Turbo Charged 2000 Camaro owned by Dave Underwood. Pat Barnhill did most of the tuning using an onboard Big Stuff 3 stand alone computer. Although the power was outstanding at over 1000 hp (I think the dyno sheet I printed off only shows 986) and 750 ft lbs of torque at 7000 rpm, Pat and I both feel that the car has more potential. Due to a glitch with the Big Stuff 3, we were not able to pull past 7000 rpm safely. The computer is being pulled off and sent back for repair. As you can see from the graphs it was continuing to make power. http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/mxward1/033.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/mxward1/031.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/mxward1/2000camaro001.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'd love to see that car run. Read about it in GM High Tech a few years back, and even saw it at Trails at some point in last couple years. Even so I've never seen it run.

MrMeanGreen Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I KNOW Dave's car has much more potential. I've known that car since it was still a regular street car and the pains he's gone through to get it to this point. Lemme know next time he's up this way, I'll come by.

Its a nice car. -Brandon I think he mentioned that to Mike. He seemed really pleased with the work you guys did. It is a really nice car. The pictures don't really do the paint job justice, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolrayz Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I assume that was with the 106 not the 114 he has for it. When you consider the car has a BILLET dart LSx block in it and a big turbo those numbers are quite week. I guess Lutz was wrong when he posted Dave would be at door wars tomorrow. Poor Dave has been fighting issues with that car from day one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickey4271647545519 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Saw this car up at pacemakers last year with Pat tuning it, it's pretty fun car to watch. Any clue whats up with his nova? Havent seen him or braskett lately to know whats been up with it. Last time i knew they were having converter issues with it.

mrtbolt64 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Dave and Patrick both were up at Norwalk friday night. I did not see Dave make a pass but Patrick went like 9.xx something but he was banging away on the keyboard of the laptop most of the time trying to figure it out. I talked to Dave and he mentioned that he thinks the problem is in the coil packs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Someone took pics of the Door Wars on here, and Dave's car is in a couple. He just needs to throw some truck coil packs on there and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just needs to throw some truck coil packs on there and call it a day. its much deeper then that, when your making that much power and that much rpm, a lot of people are having problems with spark. ohio boys had the same problem, so did guys from stenod, and others runnign in the 7's. guys with distributes are of coarse immune, so after your making 1500rwhp everyone is starting to think to switch to a distributor setup. BS3 is also looking into the problems. some have kind of fixed it by changing the dwell time, as they have found that if they are running a 16v system and set it to long it burns out part of the board on the BS3.

koolrayz Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I talked to dave a few times friday. It appeared he had a BAD rod knock. Lutz thought it was in the valve train so he took a valve cover off but it was all good. More bad luck for Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
