for 2 weeks now my truck has been at Edelbrock HQ getting their first 6.2 blown 2014 truck.
they said they are going to need it another 3 weeks or so to finish the tune and dyno.
so far the truck did 397 TQ and 407 HP at the wheels and it was totally stock.

they tell me to expect another 100+ by the time its finished.

i also got a set of black chrome wheels to put on the truck as soon as i get it back!

the blue lines are 3rd gear and the red are 4th gear.

 

Sounds cool! Can't wait to see what you think of it.

Those power numbers stock seem way way too high though... just sayin.

 

They need to call that dyno graph "incorrected" numbers. There is no way a stock 6.2 puts down 400whp.

Now in regards to the blower build thats awesome, interested in seeing how they set things up.

Also, wondering if the tune will be like the maggies in which they raper the tq and pe tables and make the truck a dog.

Wheels look sick, how did they do them tinted powder over chrome?

 

They are called PVD
Physical vapor deposition they do it in a vacuum similar to a chrome plating process

As for the hp I've had several people comment the same. I just got the dyno from them I have no idea how they got those numbers but I assume they know how to work a dyno.
And frankly I only care about the gains so if it's wrong but repeatable that's all I care about.

As for the Maggie's from what I've seen EB has a better inter cooler and they make similar gains to the Maggie's with less boost

 

there's the key statement... WORK it... as in, fabricated or tricked numbers.

are the 6.2s E85?

 

Jeez guys, who freaking cares what it said stock. He has a baseline now and we'll be able to see what the eforce kit adds. Edelbrock will only benefit from inflating the numbers after the blower, not the stock numbers.

 

I do not think the new 6.2 is e85

Can't wait to see results. Sucks it's taking 5 weeks though

 

don't worry guys, ill be posting 1/4 mile and 0-60 times when I get it back as well. I know c and d managed a 0-60 in 5.5 and a 1/4 with a stock crew cab 6.2 recently.

having said that I am pretty sure they did it in 4wd and with the traction control off because I know for a fact the torque is limited when trac is enabled. I can tell I get a harder launch with this configuration (disabled) than with trac enabled.
but in any case I think we can all agree that's pretty impressive for a stock 5600 lb truck by any stretch. so there is always the possibility that the numbers are accurate on the dyno but GM advertised a lower HP for whatever reason.

but on the subject here is some food for thought.. who cares what the HP is? hp is a calculated figure based on torque and RPM
it is TQxRPM divided by 5252 and with an engine with a 6k redline who really cares about hp?
the TQ number looks well more in line when you consider the drive train loss and the fact is the TQ is the twisting force that you feel while accelerating anyway.
HP is just a figure or calculation of the work that's being done. you might as well express it as watts because they both mean the same thing.
watts is a measure of heat and energy and hp is a measure of the work done over a period of time.
TQ is measured on the dyno where as HP is calculated.

based on the calculation if you make torque higher in the rev band it makes higher HP numbers.
that's why diesels don't make much HP but a lot of tq because they never spin past 5252 rpm anyway and these engines don't go much past it either.

since its a truck, let's focus on the TQ and the benefits of how much we get and for how long through the rev band shall we?

 

Torque wins races, hp sells cars

 

Well I got the final dyno results if anyone cares. They made 113 wheel hp and 113 tq with 6.5 lbs of boost at the wheels
