Not bad. Might squeeze more out of it with some more tweaking but overall it's ok I think

This isn't the same dyno as the ls1 was on

LOL yeah. The guy asked me what the motor was at first and I told him it was an ls3 with a cam and intake and stuff. He was like "oh yeah should be in the 450-475 rwhp range... lol

I could stare at that power curve all day! It's carrying forever, looks like you stay over 600 until you're past 7500 rpm at least. Too bad the mph is on the bottom. That's annoying, but sometimes they do that.

Any idea what shift point you'll use?

That's awesome numbers! Really can't wait to see the mph it puts up. Should be at least 108 in the 1/8th.

Not exactly. It lighter than stock for sure. Not exactly how much. It's neither heavy nor gutted
