Well got a chance to dyno my car today.

Ran into some problems....The dyno's tach got all whacky at 5k RPM and started jumping around...so 5k was as High as they could read.

I was given no paper, just what the guys read on the screen prior to it happening.

I did 3 pulls.

166hp @5k

I guess nobody saw the torque...as nobody told me what it was.

So it was a bit dissappointing...but hey...I got to feel the thrill of a dyno :)

It was Dyno day at one of the local performance shops.

PerformancePlus they are called.

It was free..promotion

Its really to bad, the car was still pulling pretty good.
Done on a Mustang Dyno.

I did get to see a VW Diesel pull 106hp 209 torque...and a couple other pulls of Honda and Integra's. They were Low Low 100's for HP...even with Turbos.

dyno was pretty mess up...next time try to place a big fan that can blow a hard wind and you will easily see a nice increments...about 20hp...somehow when the computer senses air flow gives better results

They had a large 3foot fan blowing toward the car.

look at it this way. your car makes more power at the wheels, chocking, and without even peaking then a new Scion tC makes at the crank under optimum conditions!

BOOYAAH to you my friend.

Not for racing, but if you are looking for an affordable and reliable Toyota for under 20k, it's your best bet.

^ or if you've decided that instead of dating hot of-the-chain girls you'd rather date homely fat chicks with acne problems and bad foot odor, then yes the TC is the perfect car.
