VetRed gets some power! Well today I got George's (VetRed) 99 FRC completed and tuned. His combination consisted of: CNC ported LS6 heads, 80mm BBK TB, custom ground cam 228 intake duration, a Cory Harris ported LS6 intake, LS6 PCV conversion and tuning.
From his baseling of 304 Hp, the car now makes 403 RWHP at 6200 RPM and the power goes flat to the fuel cut. At that same point his old combination, the power fell off to 296 at the same RPM so that makes for a 107 HP gain at 6200 RPM. Georges car has a set of Bassani headers which I am not real thrilled about, I beleive that there is some more power to be had if he changes to a better header. His Bassanis are a TRI-Y design from the old days, no one drag races with them but they are tried and trued design for making torque in the mid-range in trucks, the bad thing is that his car isn't a truck
All in all I think George will be happy with the results the new combination is very streetable, has a light lope as far as cams go, and makes power all over. Peak torque occurs at about 4700 RPM it just pulls and pulls 
Here is a scanned copy of Georges before and after dyno curves:
Notice the slight drop in torque from about 3400 to 4000 RPM. There is some false KR in that region that I am going to tweak out, other than that it makes very good usable power.

Great Job TJ! Talk to George this past weekend, and he was real excited about his new setup. As always, Great Work! :thumbup:
lol, he did tell me about the headers tho. Yea I think, they are definetly the weak part of his setup, but w/ 403 he'll have plenty of fun.
Time to get it to the track George.

Also just an FYI, I may be heading down soon just want to get my tune updated after refreshing the exhaust setup. I'll call you as soon as I get it back from RNR.
