Default rwhp and Tq ???

Just wondering if i am setting my goals to high.

Dynoed my truck in august 92 degrees outside/ with humitity around 50 percent. Tires 285's/ allsion tranny. Results 236.6 rwhp , 304 rwtq.

Ordered a tune that should be here next week and I'm gonna have it dynoed again. went with a 93 hot tune and 100 % t.m. removal and the temp will be around 60 degrees when its dynoed unlike the first time when it was 92 degrees.

My thought is with the temp I should pick up between 10 and 15 rwhp and tq.

And with the tune I should pick up between 20 or 30 rwhp and tq.

If this is correct I should be around 275 to 280 rwhp and 330 to 340 rwtq.

Whats do you guys think am I aming to high or what.

I think you will be in that range. That 8.1 and Allison sucks up a lot of parisitic loss. Pull your filter out next time and let it suck in straight air if you want the best numbers you can get.

EDIT, I hate writing at the same time someone else does

Yea, what he said^^^^^^^^^^^^
