wish i still had my graph, i dont think i broke 375 ish, and you see my mods...

you had a solid point, its just a number though, and different dyno's/engines read different...

i have to go by track numbers when i look at something impressive. i thought my numbers sucked, but i have already turned a 7.9x in the 1/8th, n/a on street tires.

The numbers are pretty standard. Go over to Tech's dyno forum and you will see that a bolt on TR224 LS1 will make 380-400rwhp all day long. I was set on a 210/218 cam, but when I saw the numbers 224 put down, it just blew my mind.

actually, the day after i dynoed i was up there to see a cam only f-body put down 375 n/a.. i was pretty pissed.

again, i am on a nitrous friendly tune, low timing and rich fuel, but i thought it would do better..

it runs good though... i just wanted to see some huge numbers..

hey, maybe you just got a low dyno. The one I go to is known to be on the low side. In 2nd with the converter unlocked, my bone stock lq9, with stock intake/air box, stock 4.8L exhaust and 89 tune made 269rwhp/296rwtq I'm gonna go get re-dyno'd now that I have a proper 93 tune, ported TB, and cutout. After that I'm going to add longtubes and TR224 and dyno again. Should be interesting.
