Default Good Numbers For MS3

Got it dyno'd last week and wanted to post the results. I think its pretty dam good for just straightening out the A/F and not messing with the timing at all. It made 425 rwhp 382 rwtq. My friend said its a little on the low side for a full bolt on MS3. I dont because she pulls like a dam bat out of hell on crack on the streets. What do you guys think?

Mods: MS3, SLP lid, SLP maf, NW 90/ Fast 90, LTs, ORY, GMMG and all the other little bolts-ons you can think of. T-56 stock clutch, Moser 12 bolt with 3.73 gears

DAM 30 more rwtq with the G5X3?

You guys think that if we start playing with the timing i can squeeze some more out of her? or should i just play it safe like this and get a dead perfect tune when i put my heads in?

Those are good numbers actually. They most definitely are NOT on the low side for a full bolt-on MS3 car.

Nice numbers bro!! I didn't think you can get that much out of cam only car with some bolt ons. I would play it safe and get it dead on when you get the heads IMO.

Do you have a graph? I've never seen a cam only LS1 make that kind of torque. Makes me interested in that cam if it really is capable of those numbers.

No way those numbers are very good that tq is normal for a ms3 car. my buddies was 380 something. Thats around the average for ms3 cars i have seen on here. That ms3 is a workhorse.

your friend must be jealous or just stupid, those numbers are NOT low. My friend with the MS3 put down 413 and like 37something tq with that cam, LS6 intake and a few bolt ons through a cutout. That Fast helps a lot too. Get some HEADS!

My friend was one of people that help me build the car. That dude knows everything about these cars, which is why he thought they were low because he expected more.

Are those numbers with PRC heads ? Or were those cam only?

Yeah I have 706 casting stage 3 ported heads. I’m waiting to get some rocker arms to complete it all. I have Cometic head gaskets, GM header gaskets, stage 8 locking header bolts, and ARP head bolts. I want to change everything all at once. Do it right the first time, right?

Ported heads and intake prob 465-470. You could always put in a light clutch and flywheel that will get a few extra hp.
