I'll have new numbers real soon, like next week. Full exhaust, cam and springs and a Procharger!!! First and only pull was 555/490 at 5500 rpm on the same Mustang dyno. It needs some colder plugs to get a full pull in and it should be close to the 600 rwhp mark.

You'll have to run Fadi and his 2008 zo6. He's adding a Katech Cam, headers, Cai, and a tune. Your 600 rwhp may be enough to top his 530 rwhp. Good luck on your numbers Dennis and hope to hear about a race between you guys. Nothing new on my end, just going to Texas for a vacation. Hmmmm...........

Hey Doc, nothing new is being done to the car, at least not that I know of, but who knows, Louis did surprise me with an R&D cam that later became known as g5x3vII the last time I visited. A few tweaks are going to be made to the tune, a lot of maintenance, a mystery issue fixed and maybe a new part will get tested on my car. After that Bobby is coming back to Michigan with me with a pit stop at Cedar Point and then on to Michigan for some high speed videos that will hopefully be used on the LG website. I hope I get a chance to run through Illinois like I did last year. Perfect highway for top speeds. Straight and flat !!!

I have to say this though. I got a lot more then Horsepower and Torque from dealing with LG Motorsports. I made a few really good friends. Bobby, Sean, Mikey, Louis and of course LG himself. Can't put a price on friends. Especially friends in the performance business.

Congratulations man !!! I think your results is very realistic because is a lot bigger motor than the 346 ls1.So if it breath more it have to make a lot more HP. Just my .02 cents.

I've not dynoed mine but saw one make 418rwhp with the mods I have LT's, VaraRam & tune. This doesn't make sense. What a/f ratio are you at WOT?

Is that a mustang dyno corrected to dynojet SAE?? If so, it seems the correction is often off a bit, on the high side. However, JBSSCEDC5 on this site, car makes 450rwhp with the same mods but has a more aggressive tune with his Torco mix. He backs up his dyno numbers with times though, a best ET of 11.47 and a best mph of 124.4.

Yes its a Mustang dyno. A/F I have no idea. The timing is at 27 degrees. Don't know what to say. We're taking it to the track once the weather gets better, but thats going to be with a cam and Procharger. Should hit 10's no problem with M/T drag radials. It was on the dyno yesterday and the belt snapped. Maybe get final numbers today.

I'll have pics and dyno info soon.

Mustang dynos with the "dynojet correct" will always read high. I think it is stupid they put it in there.

Not saying that these numbers are "corrected", but don't believe the Mustang corrected numbers if you see them.

Good numbers.

The enormous HP increase has been seen time and time again from simply adding intake, LT headers, and tune on the LS3; it's a beast that just needed to breathe!

Your's should respond the same way.

Man do I hope you're right. I have this combo on the car now (albeit Kooks 1 7/8 LT's). If I make over 420+rwhp and 420rwtq I'd be surprised and elated beyond description. The motors are bad *** for sure...his numbers just seem a bit unrealistic IMHO.

Unrealistic, believable. They are corrected. I showed the graph and the dyno pull. Every dyno is different, but his car was tuned by Vector Motorsports on their Mustang dyno. They do ALL of the tuning for Katech.

Trust me, your car is close in hp. We just have to see how far in the 10's we get this spring.

Looks kinda high to me, my buddies car 08-a-6 just came from LG and with their headers cold air and a tune it made only 400 rwhp! My car with a vararam LG's tune made 394.
His car only made 5 rwhp more than mine with LG headers and they tuned both!

Who tuned your car, was it LG? I think my buddy got ripped off. His made 405 and it got very lean, they added some fuel and it made 400 rwhp corrected. His is an automatic as is mine and they run great. But not 440 rwhp great.
