Figured I would post this up here to show the power curve of what my 4.8 does.

tuned by me. Still learning lol.
peak numbers were 326/302 torque.
rev limit was kept to 6500, although I think it could have made power up to 6800 or so.
This dyno reads lower then most other dynos I’ve seen in Oregon, not saying its a heart breaker, but I think allot of the other local dynos show inflated numbers. Pretty happy with the numbers. Its fun in my little S10 but I’m hoping to stumble upon a 6.0l to swap in it down the road.
