stock 6spd lt1 dynos between 245rwhp 255rwhp a4s 230 to240 i have had both on the dyno before and after boltons and i will say no one can get 70+hp from boltons ever.i had my 97 ssm6 full bolt on dyno tuned and made 283hp 311 tq and this is what i expected on the dyno because from other lt1 cars i had dynoed all lt1s are created equal but dynoes are not.if iever had a bolt on lt1 dyno 327 rwhp i wouldnt post them i find a working dyno and or an honest operater those are small cam full bolt on numbers with a good tune maybe.

Dynos are one thing but I have seen Brady's car run (roadtrip120) as well as Steve Stumpfs (SAR2K) and can guarantee you both cars didn't have any sort of monkey business going on far as after market cams or ported heads, they were 100% legitimate bolt on cars. Also looking at Brady's 1/4 times when he was bolt on as well as Steve's, (I was there for Roadtrip120's run) they are very consistent far as weight and trap speeds indicating the cars were making the power in which they say they were.

something has to be different in two bolt on lt1s if one dynos or runs better timesthan the other by that big of a margin.every bolton car i done came within a few ponys of each other and close track numbers also.327hp even at the crank with just boltons would be on the high side that would be a 52hp gain.just makes me wonder why my lt1 didnt gain 70 to 80 hp with a few little boltons i must be buying junk.maybe if i add an airfoil.lol.

Use some of the dyno calculators on the internet. plug in some of the high hp bolt on track times and weight and see what they say. I know they're not accurate but it gives u an idea. I've did it with shon's car and it was close to 330.
