It sounds like GM used a Mustang dyno in 99, and a Dynojet in 00.

I put my 02 injectors on a friends 99 with no problems. A LOT of the power difference is in the tune. Changing only the tune to an 02 tune will show an improvement.

Early 4.8's had shitty iron heads too.

Haven't seen one of those.....I have a 99 4.8L in my garage with alum heads.

the only ls series engines that i'm aware of that had iron heads are the first 6.0l's.

Because they're the only ones. They also had the longer crank flange making them useless to most swaps

Not useless if you use a 4L80E or an older style (th350/400/glide) trans.

Or a custom torque converter...I believe that MPFD went this route
