Eh none of these cars are bolt on anymore, we ran these numbers back in 02-04..

I made 365 or so with bolt ons on a dyno jet that was set up right here in SLC, UT at about 4500 ft. elevation through a 3200 stalled auto trans that robs a lil power and even more so robbing power through a Moser 9" and that was on stock LS1 intake before my Fast.

My old TA with stock rear and t-56 with full bolt ons that included ls6 intake and lt's, ory, lm1 and tune made 375 or so.

It's possible. Many factors come into play and the tune plays a big part.

Dyno numbers in themselves mean nothing.. As a tool when setup properly , they've proven to be very useful.. I use the same dyno for everything.. So my results and increases, are consistent... When you start seeing numbers from all over the country, you'll find a avg number between our cars.. Bolt on cars typically 334-350whp for the autos is commonality , occasional u get the 370whp bolt on car you can pretty much say, no way.. As Chances are pretty good the dyno is happy , or giving out candy .. On the other end some dynos are tighter.. Hence the varying rw numbers.. There aren't 20whp Diff between this header and that header.. H /c cars is a whole other animal.... Tunes , parts , etc all play a role in the final equation ..

Refer to above post.. Don't think your car is more special than the other 10k fbodys that rolled outta Canada.. You were on a happy dyno.. And that's fine as you use the same one for your results , but Joe Schmo in Arkansas will not achieve the results you have.. And maybe bobby ray in Florida will make 399on the dyno down there.. Doesn't mean it's realistic..

I am also use to Mustang Dynos since thats all we really have around here. From what I hear they dyno a bit lower since the average bolt on ls1 is around 320-340.

I know the numbers game and what most get and how it works. I was just simply stating it can happen and is possible even on a not so happy average dyno if you have a great tuner and sometimes get factory freaks. Just to make everyone happy I will say I paid the dyno guy to make it look like more hp than I really got :-) Mustang dynos are said to be more accurate for street power but properly adjusted and set up dyno jets can be similar.

So last week your car went 12.9@104mph, with a 1.8 60ft yet your saying you make 365whp... Fwiw we were runnin 116mph in the heavy car and 122 in the light one.. With mid 1.4's and bottom 1.5's to the 60ft.. You paid this guy to tune your car? What was baseline numbers ?

Nice times, quick cars and great 60'. I hope to be at those times and such hear at my elevation soon then take it to sea level and see what it will do. I've only dynoed the car I have not once when I got it before some bolt ons and better tune.

Different converters can effect the dyno numbers due to internal converter slip. The more it slip's the lower the dyno reading. Correct they do not "add power" but they can let power that the engine puts out go unacounted for as they slip.

Thanks for the info guys. I was ready to see the track times I'd picl up with the new tune, but unfortunatly my rearend is weak. So i haven't gotten to run it since this my current daily but i hope to get a new dd soon and get a new rearend and put down some gpod track times. From what my friens say i should break into the 7s
