I barely edged out a stock extended cab Frontier yesterday. His front bumper was by my door.

Boost reads at 5.5 to 6 lbs. No AFR or fuel pressure gauge yet.

Seems the new Frontier is a force to be reckoned with.

So I was able to weigh the truck at work. I'm at 4960 with me in it and a full tank of gas. I used an online calculator to estimate power and these were the results:

Your HP computed from your vehicle ET is 261.80 flywheel HP and 235.62 rear wheel HP.
Your HP computed from your vehicle MPH is 276.41 flywheel HP and 248.77 rear wheel HP

My best with the blower was:

60' - 2.149
330 - 6.362
1/8th - 9.861 @ 69.90 MPH

It was about 85 to 90 out that day.

Its the weight dear god. And can be the unsprung weight of tires. Every 3lbs on your tires where the power is being put does takes 1rwhp away.

It's also the weak engine due to lacking displacement. :frown:

Those hp calculators are garbage. Stick it on a dyno. It's making the power it should, it just the weight is killing you.

Getting a bad launch slows the time, as well as wheels spin. Thus reducing "calculated HP".

Auto and 4wd so a bad launch is pretty much non existent unless I'm neutral dropping or something.

Torspd · Mar 27, 2015

True. My response is more for general information.

whippersnapper02 · Mar 27, 2015

Gotcha. My friend suggested that I might have wheelspin in 4wd but I laughed in his face and said "It isn't a V8." He has a twin turbo 06 GTO.

The displacement doesnt matter when its force fed by a roots blower

It matters quite a bit.

Something doesn't seem right. My truck boogied when I had the stock pulley and afe stage II intake.

If I brake stand anything higher than 2k rpm and launch in 4wd I chirp, not wheelspin but definitely close to it.

whippersnapper02 · Mar 27, 2015

I chirp the tires in 4wd when I launch at full throttle from a brake stand. I think it really is all the weight that is slowing this truck down. Also my expectations where too high I guess.

Blasphemous · Mar 27, 2015

Smalley pulley + Headers =

Torspd · Mar 27, 2015

Looking for 6's. Only got 3's. :crinklehair:

whippersnapper02 · Jun 18, 2015

Finally went in for a dyno. Airaid intake and TRD exhaust are the only mods. The exhaust smelled very rich as expected.
