and well needless to say I am disappointed I knew I wasn't going to make huge numbers with an automatci, but a whoping 332RWHP and 350RWTQ is pretty said for my mods. The one thing that might save me is my AF ratio was around 11.2 to 11.7 If I get it up to 13.2 what do you think I will be making?

maybe 5 hp. not much at all.. those are decent numbers considering your mods.. have those plus cam and intake and im only making 380 RWHP
stall conv. makes you lose HP and if you have bigger gears it will 2. but you will feel more power.. especially off the line..

He has a cam. I think they may be on the low side. Are you getting any knock retard with your setup? Do you have the LS6 intake? Can you post the graph so we can see what it looks like? Get that A/F leaned out and see what it does.

I am not getting any knock retard really. Don't have the LS6 intake yet. I am pretty sure there is more then 5HP in there. No way that set-up will only make 337RWHP.

Hmmm... weird dude. I would try to post that graph to show us what it looks like. I think you should be making more power, but who knows what that converter is doing, I am a M6 guy.

you should be higher than that i didnt even notice the cam you should be around 350

Yikes, those are low numbers for your mods. I'm having my FM4 cam installed this weekend - expecting 380+hp/tq. Tuning should add 5 - 10hp, but if I were you, I'd go to a different place to have that done. I problem could just be the dynojet at the shop you had it done.

Judge it by the MPH at the track.
I've seen stall'd cars read WAY lower than what their trap speeds indicate. Had a friend who dyno'd 30rwhp lower than my old Camaro (M6), but we ran neck and neck down the track.

your talking about an unlocked converter & ls1 intake there have been converters that sap 20-30hp when unlocked so its really hard to tell what it would make locked...maybe 350 maybe 370, besides that an ls6 intake would gain you anywhere from 10-20hp on the dyno. Get yourself the intake, a TB & have them lock the converter on the dyno and the dynoqueen in you will come out.

Hp is Hp and the more you make the faster you will go assuming the car is setup to use all the hp. My friend dyno`s 316 hp unlcked and ran 11.5 in his setup car. Are you telling me if he made 360 on the dyno he wouldnt be going low 11`s ? Dyno numbers are always usefull to help setup your car.

Looks like the converter was locked, but were the numbers SAE corrected? If the weather was hot, the numbers would show it uncorrected and dyno low. Also that's a rich a/f ratio, you should pick up at least 20 hp with a ls intake and tuning.

Thanks for the inputs. I will try and post the dyno sheets here soon for you all to see. Also, it is shifting at 6300, I am going to move it to 6600.

once again your point is? Dyno #'s in an auto mean little.
