Default Dyno #s restated! Bolt on LS3 454 RWHP

I've been sitting on this Dyno gragh for no real reason other then having been too busy to take the time to scan, modify, and upload it...

I had Tad at Haddad Motorsports check my tune a little while back. He spent a bunch of time on the car, and not only picked up some power, but smoothed it out a bit as well!

Mike says his Dynapack is dialed in to give results that are pretty average when compared to other dynos. I've seen a bit higher, but I think this reading is very real world. Just thought I'd post this for what it's worth. I think these results are very realistic, since the car has seen 125+ MPH in the 1/4 mile.

For the record, My LS3 has: VR, Ported TB & Intake, 1&7/8s Long tubes, 3" high flows, 3" Z06 NPP exhaust, Pulley, na meth kit, and a tune on 91/Torco.

That's some serious power for a stock internals motor.

I forgot exactly how much, but plenty, with zero KR.

That's pretty funny Marc, look at the time stamps of our last posts, looks like you beat me by a 1/10 again...

Yes, we picked up around 8 HP, and between 10 and 12 TQ through the midrange.

Running straight meth, which is what I do, can be a more constant tune, and make more power, although there is a bit of debate on that...

NA just means naturally aspirated, no forced induction. My meth kit is tied into RPM and intake manifold pressure.

Ah, so does it basically cool the air?

Yes, cools the intake charge a bit, and adds octane when you need it most.

I run a steady mix of one quart can with every 10 gallons of 91, which puts me around 96.5 octane. Just shy of 20k on the car and I've run it since I had 500 miles on the car.

Thanks, I do believe I got most of the power out of it. What #s did you make with the cam?

Great numbers and 1/4 results.

True!

And speaking of Torco, I'm currently using their gear lube in my rear differential.
