Cool High Altitude dyno numbers?

Just curious what other LS1's are getting at the rear wheels at high altitude. Seems like a lot of numbers are from near sea level and I have nothing to compare to.

I've got 468.1 at the wheels all N/A in Colorado Springs at 6035 feet. Anyone else?

I think those numbers are very good. Are they SAE corrected?

SAE is a type of dyno correction factor for weather and altitude. Brings things down to sea level.

Ah gotcha. No, there is no correction. That is "actual" rwhp.

Mods will be a long list but here goes:

Scat forged 383 stroker rotating assembly
CP Carillo Bullet flat top pistons 11.5:1 compression
Melling high volume oil pump
Trick Flow 515hp heads/cam kit
FAST LSXR intake manifold
FAST big mouth 102mm throttle body
Texas Speed 100mm MAF
SLP 104mm air box lid
Fast Toys Ram Air system
FAST 46lb/hr injectors
FAST billet aluminum fuel rails
PHAT full exhaust with long tube headers (all 3" behind cats)
Tranny upgrade stage 2 from thegearbox.org
Strange S60 rear end in 3.73:1
Upgraded fuel pump (can't remember which pump)

I think that's everything but I could be forgetting something lol

I'm in denver an both times I was at the dyno it was corrected for altitude. You should ask the dyno operator how it was measured.

I got mine done at Revolutions Performance and they said it is true power at the rear wheel without any corrections. That's why they say they disappoint more people
