it drives just like it did stock. i can cruise on 6th gear at 35mph 900rpm and no bucking. i got on it to today and it hustles pretty damn good.

Nice numbers for sure but the correction does make a big difference. I dynoed 427 RWHP in my T/A while it was about 45 degrees outside (corrected) whereas the uncorrected numbers were around 450 RWHP.

I don't like how the TR230 is down about 25lb/ft of torque compared to the TR224 @ 3000 rpms.

Looks like they were still rolling the gas peddle at 3000rpm which is why it's low.

The 230 reverse is always a good performer. Looks like with the 1.04 correction it would be 390rwhp SAE.

Maybe not but everyone around here uses SAE numbers for comparison since as you now know the weather does affect the numbers quite a bit. Not trying to downplay your results because they're still good but you're 390 RWHP is a more accurate number.

I know its not 100% the same but my tq curve looks about the same as his between 3000-3500, but after that his climbs more than mine did

Car still feels very strong from 2800 up though. I'm really wanting to get back for a dyno tune in the near future so I get a better idea where I'm at.
