Default My 1st dyno run, what should I expect?

I'm thinking of doing a dyno run on my fully stock 2003 Silverado with the 5.3. What knid of hp will the wheels put down? What is to low and not exceptable? It will cost me about $75.00 for 3 trys. Thank you!

i really don't know what to expect for ya, but just don't hope for a really high number. i was really really expecting more power on mine when i dynoed it and it was much lower than what i expected and it kinda discouraged me for a while. just don't worry about it, cuz after you have a baseline dyno it's all up hill from there with the MODS

Here is a thread with a few stock '03 dyno numbers. Looks like somewhere around ~240rwhp should be good.

Noticed your in colorado. Expect about 180 rwhp at that elevation.
I've never been on a dyno, so I don't know if they correct for elevation or not.
