Got a dyno graph? #'s are a tad low for that setup, especially the TQ.

if i am not mistaken, TEA is Total Engine Airflow. Those are good numbers. With that NX kit that thing should make some insane power, close to 600whp i would think. I just looked again, the torque number seems kinda low. i would be interested to see the graph as well.

Dynojet 224. I don't think the Slowmaster catback was helping. We'll open up the cutout tonight and see what benefits are to be had there. We have been working on drivability as that takes a lot more time than WOT.

#'s are almost identical mine when I had my catback on. Now with TD's they should be higher. Your cam is a little bit bigger. How does it drive on the street? I want to see the graph and compare to mine. Should be a real fun ride though!!

I agree ^^ Looks like the power is rising...

Was the cutout open??
I really thought with a setup like this and STD Dyno you'll be over 450rwhp!!!

At least someone else is having trouble with the torque from a heads/cam setup, haha. Good luck getting it squared away!

Tune is on the conservative side of life-I believe in longevity, reliability over the ragged edge of seeking numbers. Cutout was open last night, picked up about 10 over closed thru the slowmaster. The owner is planning on coming back from overseas duty and taking a cross country road trip. With the stock clutch, transmission I didn't see the point of spooling it past ~6krpms.

Good numbers I see you are from Ft.Lewis would you happen to be with 4/25 (I think that is what it was) in Baqubah? If so you replaced me. Anyways good numbers and good choice on going for a safe tune over numbers. Numbers dont mean anything if it blows up!!

I'm not trying to bust your ***** here, but if the car isn't being dialed in for past 6K then it's got the WAAAAY wrong cam in it. That cam doesn't peak until 64-6500.

A stock T-56 transmission shouldn't have anything to do with how high it's pulled on the dyno. I've spun a T-56 to 7K on the street for 3 years straight. I could understand the clutch issue, but if it's not slipping now then there's absolutely no reason the car shouldn't be spun to peak.

damian took the words out of my mouth what the hell does clutch/tranny have to do with "spooling" it past 6000 rpm....stock LS6's go to 6600 with the same stuff...btw that is one odd looking tq curve and looks like a complete slug until 3500; can we see a graph with zero smoothing? it appears the the mag jagged curves there may be some valvetrain instability going on...also would be interested in seeing SAE numbers

Well, I think, because it has a stock clutch, if he reved it up, the clutch would of slipped. I know stock clutches arent rated in handleing high horsepower applications. Not to mention How many miles were on the clutch to begin with. ....thats just what im assuming
