Default TEA Does It Again...! 505 RWHP

http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Groups/216/216121/pages/546227/504dyno.jpg

OK I fudged a little. The actual dyno numbers were 504.99. This is on my new 402ci iron block built by Sean Carter at SMC performance.
The heads are TEA Stage III 6.0 liter. Cam is small .236/.236 .580/.580 114 Comp renegade lobe. Kook's 1 7/8" LT headers. LSX 90mm intake and TB.
All tuning was done at TEA on their dyno and on the street. I have to give a HUGE thumbs up to Brian Tooley the owner of TEA and Brent Lightfoot, the best LS1 tuner in the mid-south. Brian built me a killer set of heads that flow 320 cfm at .600, 300 at .500. Also Brian was very patient in putting up with all my visits and nagging phone calls. Brent literally spent hours tuning my PCM. The car idles like stock almost and drives perfectly. LTFT's are near zero everywhere under cruise,decel and accel.
Anyway, we dynoed with 93 octane pump gas with 28 degrees timing, all belts on, airlid closed, through a Moser 12 bolt w/3.73's. The car made 492rwhp and 466.04 rwtq through the closed up Flowmaster catback!
We then uncapped the cutout and she made 504.99rwhp and 477.4 rwtq.
Now we have seen cars from other dynos lose 20rwhp on TEA's dyno, a conservative machine to be sure.
Dyno graphs links are posted here but the quality is poor. I wish I knew more about that kind of stuff.

Again I can't say enough about TEA's products, customer service and tuning expertise. This is my third set of heads from them. I ran two different sets on my old 346. Each set was better than the last. Also a big thumbs up to Tony and Parris and George, the most awesome porters and assemblers in the business, IMO. TEA is the SHIZZLE !!!

Yes it has a slight lope w/the exhaust closed. You can hear the cam pretty good with the cutout open. It idles great and pulls very hard. I may step up to a slightly larger cam in the near future...we'll see.

Good #s and the cam isn't that big. Plenty of H&C cars are running bigger cams

Dustin Butts,
I went by and saw Brent the other day and he was telling me about getting the extra power. That is great man. He told me to bring mine over to see if he can milk some extra power out of it like he did on yours. Great numbers man. Take care. Also when are you going to go back to BB? Let me know and I'll hook up with you bro.
