Strange....that's what a bolt on LS1 runs.
I am going to be watching this as I am building a LS3 headed 408 now https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...-breather.html
Something's not right.....I would have guessed that combo @ 525/500 or MORE

I mean the Dyno numbers don't seem THAT far off but the dyno and track numbers are no where close......Slipping clutch? Undergeared and just no where near your power band?

Maybe with the weight of the car loading vs dyno is making it break up? Check TPS voltage to make sure it matches up only thing I can see if it makes the numbers on the dyno but doesn't perform at the track is its acting up when its under a real load

Throw some new plugs in there, Check all your grounds, Check to see if the TB itself is opening all the way, Check for Exhaust leaks, Vaccum leaks, compression test, Checking valve train lol it goes on and on

That'd be my guess and looks like you need to spin that thing a LOT harder....

He says he's shifting @ 6900. I can't read the rpm range on the dyno sheet..
OP do you have a dyno sheet with rpm (those are cut off and look like possibly mph, at least on my screen).
