Couldnt Be More Happy With My Trans Am...

After all is said and done, I never thought my car would reach past 350 rwhp, with mods in sig.
The Main thing the guys at lethal said, you got shorty headers, that wont help your HP very much, because they are a bit restrictive.

After they tie it down and do all the HPtuners software download, he sets off on the first pass...

Surprisingly, the TA hits 353.9 rwhp n 351.4 torque...

After a few adjustments he sets of again, to gain a bit more pushing my numbers to... 356.3 rwhp n 356.6 torque...

I was very happy with those numbers, and ask my tuner... So i guess this is all she put out for this time around, right?

He's like not quite, its still running a lil lean at the bottom and a bit rich at the top, plus you still got timming left.
I really didnt understand much but, that there is room for a couple more horses somewhere in there.

MY FINAL NUMBERS...

365.19 Rwhp and 363.91 Torque

I was amazed with my numbers and this is no dyno spike or nothing dumb, its actual numbers produced by the LS1.

Now! LT headers and Y pipe, Ill be up there with you 380-390 guys all day.

But my stall will be firts before them two items.

Goin to the track Tonight to test it out and practice, I will have pics and video of my Wonderful Saturday.

IM SO HAPPY!!!

With what you got, and a lil spray you plan on adding,, Your goal of low 12s high 11s shouldnt be a problem..

I sure hope so!... But im really optimist to reach low 12 with just long tube headers and a 3 inch y pipe, and elevens with a 3600 stall.

This evening i went out to the san antonio dragway, and suprisingly i made a 12.9 at 110 with a crappy 2.086 60 ft. Have slip and vids to prove it and will upload soon, I was able to beat my friends cobra that suppousely puts 453 at the wheels, he caught up at the very end in a couple of passes, but im not that far away from completely blowing him out the water.
Track conditions where very humid 79-80 degrees. We both ran on non gripping street tires...

Thanks for posting and viewing my thread!!!

You can get 350rwhp from bolt ons with an LS1, add some spray and you're looking at 450rwhp/475-500ft/lbs torque with a conservative 100 shot.

On the First Dyno Pass it was closed, but the first dyno pass is only for the tuner to get a base on what to do, it was then when i snapped and took the cap off and didnt put it back on for the rest of the tune, I leave it off all the time tho.
My tranny is the 4l60e, with a stock converter...

LIke previously mentioned, Im happy with my 365rwhp and 364torque
