Default dyno numbers from as 5.3L 232/236 combo

Graphs to come ....

408rwhp / 380rwtq through my stock muffler (FLP Y Pipe) (A/F was 12.5 - 12.6 in the upper RPM range)

430rwhp / 384rwtq (@6200 rpm .. shut it down as it was so loud .. hp curve still rising) with Y Pipe and Stock Muffler diconnected - what a power robber!!

Also .. dyno numbers are from a dyno that may read a little low..

Congs, A4 or M6?
I am guessing M6 with those numbers and the fact that you have 410 gears in your sig. Just making sure.

Probably less though .. I added a ported TB as well .. (had the G5 cam before) ..

2 different dynos as well .. and at two different seasons (Spring -vs- Summer)

Please don't turn this into a bashing thread .. the new numbers were at a little lower A/F ratio as well ... who knows the difference between the 2 dynos and difference between temps .. It also shows how restrictive my catback is ....

I am alittle confused.

I though the cam only #`s were 382.5rwhp 379.6rwtq

And now you make 430 with the new heads and cam and bypass the stock muffler and y pipe.

Please clear this up

Those numbers are very good

Right .. The numbers with the yipe and muffler on are 408 rwhp ..(I had those on with the G5 dyno ) .... I think with the ability to move more air though, the exhaust has become the restriction .. I agree .. 430 bypassing the stock Y and muffler is good to go :-) (also that was at 6200 .. still climbing at that point) ..

Great to see you found where the power has been hiding. I now there are a few guys out there with crappy exhaust systems looking to make big power and Its a really big restrictrion. I got my duals 2 years ago and havent looked back. IT was worth 10hp over the single with a cutout when i was cam only.
