5.3 Swapped 81 Malibu Dyno Put my car on the dyno today..
LM7 130k miles
pacesetter 98-02 f body headers
Trickflow 220/224 cam
3in exhaust with h pipe
4in cold air
Stock truck intake, throttle body, injectors and 862 heads
TH350
3600 stall.. unlocked.
Car made a best of 321 whp and 312 wtq.. a gain of 21 hp and 6 lb ft tq. There are spots in the middle of the curve that netted another 8 hp increase as well. EDIT: The gain was over my mail order tune, not from a stock PCM. If the pcm were stock with this setup, I would imagine that it would have made way more than just the 21 hp.
More importantly, numbers are just numbers, I am happy with them. The car drives flawless and is extremely quick. These cars make easy power with bolt ons and cam swaps.

Car ran 13.66 @ 105. Un-prepped track resulted in a 2.39 60'. So there is at least half a second in the 60' alone. Shifting at 5800 rpm.
I really think with some good tires (I'm running a 235 street tires), getting the 60' time down to a 1.80 or so, and moving my limiter to 6500, I should have a mid to high 12 second car.
