182 dyno or rr plot?

[gridgway]

Does anyone have the above? I am frustrated by the fact that my 182 cup doesn't seem to get going till about 5k rpm, so I have been thinking about what might be done to make it pull better at lower revs (ie extend the power range downwards).

I thought that having a look at a dyno plot would be a place to start working out what is happening.

Thanks

It sounds normal to me. Its just the way lumpy cams work.

yep, I didn't think it abnormal, just want to do something about it. FOr a 180bhp 2l engine, it's a bit on the weedy side!

The kick isn't that noticable on a RR graph realy. Its only due to engine mapping and the VE of th cams is a bit better.
Noting much you can do a remap would help but don't expect a massive improvemtn some intake and exhaust work would help.
