Default Got Car Back Today Big Thanks to Charlie, Austin, and Curtis of RPM Motorsports!

Well my initial dyno numbers were 436.3 HP and 403.3 ft-lb torque on a load DYNOmite at the shop. The numbers were lower than usual because as it turned out, 5 of my INTAKE valves were BAD and EXHAUST valves were in good condition. Hmmmm.....New LS7 Problem? Anyways had them replaced along with SS exhaust valves. After, the heads, cam and intake, today on the same dyno I put down 548.7 HP and 489.7 fl-lb of torque! This is without headers or exhaust....I'm very happy with the results Big thanks to Charlie, Austin, and Curtis....they are very knowledgeable and humble guys which is why I plan on bringing my Z to them for ALL its needs. Thanks RPM

Good thing you modded it then or it could of turned out very bad. And an extra 100+whp isn't bad either

are those SAE numbers? you must have the highest I've read with stock exh, I just put down 525 and I have a bit more cam.......Even the famous 'best kept secret' cam, the phantom - there is one on youtube that hit 521 without exhaust and it's also more cam than yours.

Regardless, great numbers!! Enjoy and drive safe.

Congrats! If I didn't have my mind set on a TORQUER 110, I would definitely be checking out the Phantom.

Congrats. Good results for stock manifolds.

Are you going to add anything else to get into the 550 club thread you started?

Hard to compare since it was on different dynos. My guess is that on the same dyno, the cars would be quite similar in output.
