since you are coming from mustangs, it will surprise you at how "slow" these cars are with 500+ hp. The V1 platform does not like bigger numbers compared to other LSx cars. It suffers from poor engineering and sub par parts. I have just minor bolt ons, and the car is extreme tempermetal. I could not imagine the **** storm that would happen if I keep modding. But mine is also a DD now...and I am trying to sell it. So I am done modding, and just waiting to get into something faster, and nicer.

If it makes good, reliable, safe power for when I want to get away from the bike, I'll be happy. Seeing the OPs dyno chart tells me I will be, with a few more small tweaks and a few hundred hours overtime at work to pay for it all....

Horse power is equal to the product of torque and rpm's divided by 5250. That is why on every dyno graph the hp curve and tq curve intersect at 5250 rpm. When was the last time u took ur duramax to 5250 rpm's?

I'll go change my mapping and see what happens haha. If you could build a rotating assembly that could handle those sort of pressures, and find a fuel system that could maintain 26,000 psi in that range it would be something. If I ever get some head studs and new sticks in that thing maybe i'll try for the 900 mark.
