I've been looking around and can't find a dyno graph for a set-up similar to mine. I'll be getting my car dyno tuned at Texas-Speed probably next week and was wondering what it'll put down ballpark. It's a 2000 ws6, has an SLP Lid, ls6 intake manifold, long tube headers, TSP y-pipe, and TSP Rumbler Catback. The wheels are replica z06's that are 17x9.5 and the tires are factory 275/40/17's so no odd sizes there either. My guess was something like 320? Just don't want to get my hopes up too much lol. Thanks!
i got a question what mods do you think i should invest in next? So far i have SLP loudmouth catback, 3.73s, and some computer tuning. Any tips or sugguestions would be helpful.
^^^^^^^^^^^That's what I was thinking.. Someone has some inflated #'s. My last motor with H/C/I/E stock bottom end made 447rwhp and 403 torque.. and ran a best of 10.90@123mph with a 1.46 60ft.
In my opinion alot of dyno shops messing up torque readings, i myself have probably got one accurate torque reading from a dyno and that is it. Ive put my car on the dyno, not just this one but other camaro's ive had about 6 times. Ive seen others who put there cars on the dyno not gettin accurate readings(torque at all).
Like others have said, that torque cannot be right. My buddies LS6 with a small cam put out just over 400tq at the wheels. Don't see an LS1 cam with 241 heads doing the same.
Thanks for the help everyone! It actually got pushed until probably next week since I had an exhaust come up for too good of a deal to pass up. I'll post some numbers up afterwards!
Dynojet 248, suppose to read like a mustang dyno i think

torque numbers will vary, i've seen bolt on + 150 shot nitrous cars push 600 rwtq

its a 98 ls1 cam, not a 01-02 cam. Duration is slightly longer with a smaller lift compared to the later year cams.
I'm going to the track on the 20th, so i'll let you all know what the trap speed is.

i didnt have 241 heads, i had 806 heads. If you go through my link i tried to list every variable as possible. Theres even a video.
I think I had a freak ls1 tbh, with proper maintainence and sea level altitude, 356 hp sounded about right. My other dyno runs were consistent in the 380-390 range.. 405 was my best. It was rather chilly that day too, like 55'ish.
Alright guys, got it dynoed at Texas Speed this morning and I pulled 337 rwhp and 353 ft. lbs. torque. I'm very happy with the results and the car runs awesome.
