81 Malibu w/5.3 dyno Put my car on the dyno today..
LM7 130k miles
pacesetter 98-02 f body headers
Trickflow 220/224 cam
3in exhaust with h pipe
4in cold air
TH350
3600 stall.. unlocked.
Car made a best of 321 whp and 312 wtq.. a gain of 21 hp and 6 lb ft tq. There are spots in the middle of the curve that netted another 8 hp increase as well
More importantly, numbers are just numbers, I am happy with them. The car drives flawless and is extremely quick. These cars make easy power with bolt ons and cam swaps.

I drive the car 3 or 4 times week for an hour commute one way to school with zero problems. Other than turning 3000 rpm on the highway, Its super easy to drive. The only trouble I have is loading it on a trailer, takes some skill lol
