3.7 Milano Dyno Results!

Post by junglejustice »

AT THE WHEELS: 301.5 horses!

Makes 300 at 6300 and holds it all of the way to 7000 where we stopped... More up top I'm sure - we're only running 28 degrees of advance right now! (Can find more at 30-31 degrees but first more run-in.

260 foot-pounds torque at 5500 - 240 of it already at 2500 rpm!!!

Beautiful 396 V8 Chevy SS right behind us pulled 2 x 275 horsepower runs and one hard 280 horse pull at the wheels... Torque was 270 foot-pounds!!!

375 horsepower C5 Corvette pulls the same power on that dyno as the 3.7....

Hey, thats good power!

Should make the 75 a lotta fun. Lets hope the prop can take it......:)

Be carefull with adding too much advance. The 12v engines run more advance that the 24's.

I wouldn't go over 29 degrees if using on track, just to be safe.

At 6000 rpm+ you'll not hear the detonation until it's too late, and sometimes you'll not hear it at all, but you damage the piston crowns and combustion chamber.

VIDEO.............!!!!!! COME ON JJ - YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOO

Thanks everyone! :D

Kudos goes to Dawie; the man builds incredible toys!

Some lucky sucker here just transferred money in today for a screaming 24 valve 3.0 budget motor that makes more power on pump gas and 10.5:1 CP than the current 3.2 GTA race cars!!! :shock:

I thought you had identical motors? Have you sold your 3.7 on, and started with a new one.

Have you gone big valve 41mm heads, cam's with race profile from UK, Arrows lifters, longer conrods, and so on.

What are you doing to the rest of the milano/75 to take the monster torque/power? new box/solid prop/comp. driveshafts al least!

Welcome to the world of high octane race fuel :)

It's gonna be fast....

I'm afraid the old fact still stands:

If you need to ask for the price - forget it!

Won't be cheap.
