LS6 Super Stroker article in Super Chevy
This may be just a miss-print I'm not sure but in this month's new Super Chevy they have an article on Gen III Performance's 427 LS6 stroker 427 and the stack style intake. Looks like they're using AFR's new heads too. The way this engine looks is simply awesome but when you look at the rear-wheel dyno graph of the engine its torque and horsepower top out at around 325. A stock LS1 with minor boltons can make that much power. What do ya think?
Also the dyno graph shows the torque and horsepower crossing at 4900?

"I think he's saying the article showed a graph for the 427 and it showed 325."
Right...and I said that I hope he read it wrong (for the sake of the credibility of the magazine.)
I was poking fun at how often magazines tend to screw up the most basic of information.

Right....I thought you meant that you hope that he read the axis (plural) wrong and perhaps the lines did not cross as 5250 like they would given a graph with the same scale on each side....oh god....we are WAY off track. Nevermind.

Speaking of off track...call MTI and tell them to please hurry the hell up with my car. We wanna see some NA 8s and it just ain't happening with the car in TX and me in AL.

No I didn't read it wrong, I just think the magazine screwed up royally...I know they have to cross at 5252 but according to the graph they cross at 4900 or so and for a LS6 with Afr heads and a comp cams 224 intake/280 exhaust w/ .534 lift on the intake and .537 on exhaust, thats also bored over to 427 those a pretty pathetic numbers. Thats why I said I hope its just a misprint. But the graph is labeled Gen III chassis dyno and shows the test being on a 427 LS6, wish I had a scanner and I'd show the dyno graph.

This is the best picture that I could get (shitty camera phone) but if you look closely you can read the bottom rpm scale and the left scale goes from 200 to 340 in intervals of 20. Basically what I'm gettin at here, is how much horsepower/torque can you really expect. My dad and I are lookin at putting a Gen III engine in his '55, but he doesn't really care for the intake on those engines. He really likes this, but its no where near how much torque/horsepower he wants. Thanks.

Also torque and horsepower have to cross at 5252 because of math. torque X rpm / 5252 = horsepower
Google it up if you really want to read all about how horsepower is derived from torque and what not.
Also if the lines cross at something other than 5252, the scale is just off on each side. You'll notice different numbers designating the lines on the left for horsepower and the right for torque.

Thank ya.
Thank ya.
HP = rpm x T(torque)
5252(constant)
5252(constant)
Rearrange the formula to solve for a given HP or TQ and you'll see that at 5252 RPM they MUST match fact of the equation.

i have the real scoop on this story!
SCOTT over @ GEN 3 told me the motor that was used first made around 560hp on an engine dyno (dont quote me i may be wrong?) after a photo shoot in vegas and after the owner drove it he felt to motor was to wild for that little 2400 pound car...so they just swapped in a crate ls1 and he was happy! those 427 that he builds are awsome and his real magic is in the tuning! as he was telling me the story he knew people would wonder why is 20K 427 only made 325hp!!!!!lol DAMN mags.....
GEN3 is an awsome shop and SCOTT is the MAN!

2000lbs of cotton or 2000lbs of lead
same weight.....
though the physical storage of cotton will take up a lot more space than lead will.... they still weigh the same.
