Any Dyno Gurus?
OK, lets see if anyone can help me. Last week I took my Cobra to a local University's auto shop lab to dyno test it. The 5 gas "sniffer" showed me a little rich, so I went down one jet size on both carbs. Mixture, etc. looked good after that. Still a hair rich, but I like it on the safe side anyway. Now my question: This chassis dyno does not read horsepower but does read torque in ft/lbs. Naturally the printer wasn't working, but I had 2 students watching the numbers during the runs. Highest peaks were 528 533 535 and 540 ft/lbs. All peaks were in the 5100 to 5300 rpm range. Does this relate in any way to horsepower? Looks like pretty high numbers to me. I really just wanted to know about the air/fuel mixture on the dual fours but am curious about the torque numbers. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
