So, I'm the owner of a 1986 Volvol 244 DL. It's in very good condition (the engine and body are, at least), to the point where it can get to the factory top speed of 108mph. It's a manual car, started with an M46 and currently has a 5.0L WC T5, so that should be taken into account.
I have looked literally everywhere in the forums and am unable to find dyno numbers for a completely stock B230F engine (in near new condition) with a manual transmission, and I decided that my engine is in good enough condition to set the baseline for the TB community.
Future plans are to install a built 531 head with a V cam, so these will also be useful to figure out power gains when that happens.
Anyway, here we go. In order, the pictures are the first dyno pull, the second dyno pull, the third dyno pull, the average, and the first dyno pull converted to dynojet from the original Mustang dyno graph. Final one is my car on the dyno.
Also, the whole album just in case: https://imgur.com/a/MhPIwNN
Not seen is my estimated crank horsepower. The dyno estimated the crank power at 115.6HP.
Gotta say, the dyno guy was tripped up by not having a tach. Only way we were able to calibrate the dyno was to take it all the way to redline, since we knew the engine would cut out at 6200.
Edit: The pictures aren't loading in, I think I broke TB.
EDIT EDIT: FIXED PICTURES
