I'm speechless. You'll be hitting 500rwhp without having to do anything.

Have you done a test drive yet?

How does the butt-o-meter dyno feel?

Unfortunately the streets were wet with it raining but I can say at 40 mph in 4th gear just easing down on the throttle there was zero traction. I need some dry pavement!!!

John these results are positively disgusting I guess my next goal will be to match your stock #'s with my modded BBC I good news is that I will.

Damn John, that is impressive. You hit forced induction LS numbers with a stock motor & tune. That is SWEET!!! I predict you're going to get kicked off the track....

This is quite possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Perhaps the only project more worthy of an LS7 would be my IROC convertible haha

That thing is. . . scary. Scary, yes. Yes, that's the word.

Yes, after getting the tuning squared around I want to have the heads ported and a nice lumpy cam. Going for 600 RWHP!
I predict you're going to get kicked off the track....
Hope you're right Mark...that is the goal!
When will we see you at the track?
As soon as I get the HPT working so that I can get it tuned properly and go speed density tuning to get rid of the restrictive MAF...in other words I hope within a month!
JOHN, was this the dyno at your friends place? We need to setup a dynoday...
Yes it was Ryan. I've talked to Steve about this and unfortunately he just isn't very receptive to having people over at his house for this type of event. I can certainly appreciate his position on this and his desire for privacy.

After washing the car today I thought that I would take it around the block since the weather was dry and see how it runs. After getting the car to operating temperature I eased down on the throttle at 3000 RPM in 3rd gear and at about 75% throttle the 315/35's just let loose like it was wet pavement again .....this could spell real trouble for my desire to hit 11's in street trim with just radials
