is my gto weak? So I had the goat at the track the other night, the car is a 06 six speed has trick flow 225's and trick flow cam with a fast intake full slp loudmouth exhaust, it dyno'd 480hp/ 485 ft. Lb ...and the best time I've gotten out of it is a 13.055 at 110.95 with a 2.1 60ft its on nitto invo tires, it spins a little bit and I'm not easy on it at all ive been slamming it through the gears fast as I've always driven other cars with close to the same power and weight that yielded better numbers at the yrack

A H/C car running 13's is horrible.
480/485 is damn strong. Get some real tires, some seat time, and your et's will drop.
I'm not sure wtf is up with your MPH though. Should be higher unless you shift slow as hell. What clutch is in the car? Could be slipping at higher RPMs in each gear and not transferring power.

It has a monster level 2 and tick master....I shift it pretty quick, I leave between 4000-4500...I do have to go into 4 th about 200 ft. from the line.

I didn't even notice the torque #. I agree, no way a 6.0 is making 485 rwtq with an NA h/c setup. HP number sounds about right though so no clue why the mph would be so low. I've seen a few local guys run 110 mph with a stock 6.0

It is a 6.0, if all of you say the torque number is incorrect then I believe it must be dyno error, I may go try another dyno this weekend, the car runs ok it just seems like it isn't pulling like it should.
