The compression is about 11 to 1, the heads were milled .030 and im running the stock gm mls gasket. The clutch isnt to bad, kind of a pain when your going stop light to stop light and a bunch of launching, but for a weekend car or summer toy its nice, its got a nice and crisp feeling and I havent had any problems with it not holding the power. But today I was leaving my drive way and the car got stuck in reverse... I had to shut it off and somehow it came out of gear and I rolled it back into the driveway, and now the pedal wont come all the way back up... Im thinking its the slave cylinder...

Looks like it's a slightly generous dyno for that heads/cam setup. Why does the dyno sheet show the run file for a 2001 Corvette with an auto and P1SC? You have a WS6 correct?

I'm sure that heads/cam combo runs great regardless of what numbers it shows. But it still doesn't explain why the run file of the dyno sheet shows a 2001 Corvette with a P1SC.

No, it's generous. The compression is not that high at all. It was a happy dyno. Why do you think the OP is so pleased with his numbers? If he made a more realistic 400/380 do you think he would be as satisfied? Nobody likes or wants to admit that shops can easily manipulate dyno numbers. But the customer is happy and they are guaranteed to get him back as a repeat customer.

OP dont worry about people saying you were on a happy dyno, you have a couple things that help dyno numbers going for you.. true duals, and a lightweight flywheel, and i assume stock wheels and tires, which arent that heavy compared to others you could have. My TQV2/PRC 5.3 combo only made 415/410 at stock compression with an ls1 intake so i think youre right where you should be.

Glad I found this thread.
Good choice and nice numbers OP.
Been considering this package with the TSP 227cc heads and 228R cam.
Also thought about the package with the TSP 237cc heads and 228R cam or bigger cam ?

I have the 228R, AFR 205 milled to 62cc, Kooks Long Tube headers, high flow cats, FAST 90/90, 30# ford injectors, 85mm MAF, Vararam system, textrilia clutch, GHL exhaust, 19 inch rims in the rear, and 3.90 gears.
100's of hours of tuning in it, and depending on which dyno im on, I range
445 to 460 RWHP and 430 RWTQ. Put myself through the basic and advanced tuning school.
On a mustang, I hit 417 RWHP.
She's a quick little corvette. I like to say when I put the package together, I didnt want to go "big" on anything. I wanted to stay under a 230+ cam because 10 years ago, 230 was big. I wanted to stay under 11.1 compression because 10 years ago 11.1 was high (now its stock).
Alway got help from Doug @ ECS, Edmcatlt1, Patrick G, Slowhawk and Tony Mamo. When you see a post from those guys, read it twice because its always has great advice.
You dont have to go big to make power. Click the picture.

I would say it was because they forgot to create a new "run file" for his car. Obviously the Covette was the previous car on the dyno and that was the run file still in use. Seen it many times. All they have to do is create a new run file under his name and Pontiac WS6 or what ever and move that file(s) into the new one.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I will try and get and idle clip up this week. Sounds badass with the 3 inch duals with bullet mufflers
