Verdad Gallardo Well I'd never base the the results off a dyno number, but my buddy has a setup very similar to yours and made like 450 rwhp and right around 385 rwtq. He's a member on here as well. His username is RollinSScamaro or something very close to that

I never really go off dyno numbers either but it’s just nice to know how much power your working with lol really once I get a chance to do a few shake downs then I’ll know where I stand and thanks for in the input
I think the HP sounds high as well...IMO
I base that only on your 4000 stall converter and it being unlocked.
I think 450's are possible with a locked converter.
Do you know which 4000 is in it? SS or PT?
The SS is highly inefficient and it if you have it and the converter was unlocked your hp numbers would be in the 480's - 490's with it locked.
And it is odd that they told you it made 560tq. I would think they would know better than that.

Dyno's are worthless. This is absolute confirmation. Come on and argue. I don't even think there a good tool for comparison. Take that car to the track. I'm interested to see what you do with those high gears and tall stall! Oh and make sure you get all of your money back and more for your inconvenience!

Dynos DO have their place. For comparing before and after mods, as long as conditions are the same, it is a very useful tool. Far more practical than waiting to run at the track between every mod. Track results can be subject to variables too, sometimes more than a dyno. Weather, track surface prep, who blew oil all over that did not TOTALLY get cleaned up, etc.

So, based on your build specs, I think your converter was either unlocked or slipping, which led to an insanely high torque spike (commonly called converter flash) which fell off and your peak power sort of ended up wherever it ended up.
