im not a dyno guy, and thats why i didnt understand the numbers.. dyno'ing with the ET steets, loose stall, unlocked probably cost me ALOT of hp and TQ on the dyno, i think i may just fix all of that just so everyone can see the difference, but i really dont care anymore as long s it does well at the track

I think the problem with the dyno results of the 233/239 is the fact that nobody has really dynoed with a FULL (read) bolt-on LS1. When they do, the M6 numbers will be consistently in the 400-415 rwhp range.

only thing i dont have is a pully.. which may free up 5 or so hP.. I talked to TSP today, and i belive my car has ALOT in it, that didnt show on the dyno...yes, it isnt gonna make the torque i expected, but it will prove to be a lot better than the dyno showed.. The dyno i used adds 7000 lbs of resistance to the rear tires which my sloppy stall just didnt work well with.....

Now, let's pretend that those dyno's from TSP don't exist. Having nothing to compare my numbers to except similar cams and similar setups, I'd say that my numbers are pretty damned good. I think the Torquer and the 233/239 are good cams, but they are not going to turn your car into a TQ monster. It's becomming more and more apparent that we cannot compare our TQ number's to TSP's, as they are unrealistic for most cars.
So, take TSP's numbers with a grain of salt, and instead of comparing your #'s to theirs, look at where they should be according to what other people are getting with similar setups. Don't fall into the 400+ TQ trap.
And of course, remember that a dyno is just a tool. The ET will paint a more complete picture.

However, the 400+ TQ #'s that we've seen from TSP (which got me all goggly eyed) have yet to be reproduced by a 3rd party. Period.

it is very well said, however now with the cam on MY shelf it makes me wonder should I have gone F13 instead? Those cams seem to make all the power that's advertised and then some....I'm very anxious to see Chris's number from the track. Perhaps I'll rest easier then.?

when yer wife says u can spend a few grand on yer car.
get a cam.
it will be easy to ask 4 a few hundred here and there to get an intake and TB.
just my theory.
i will be happy with 370/350 for now.
the 400's will hapen eventually.

My car goes on the dyno on thursday...I now have an LS6 manifold which completes all the bolt ons for my car and i'll be the first to say i'll be damn happy with 380+ through a stalled automatic car with as many miles as mine does
Previously i made 370rwhp with the LS1 manifold through a 3500 stall and 3.73 gears....and 100k miles
if i get a graph i'll post it up

First off I will add that locking a converter on the dyno is pointless unless you plan to lock it up at the track too. Dyno it how you plan to run it at the track....except the tires
And as stated dyno numbers dont mean anything. The guy with the M6 car that has the same mods as you and dynos higher may not beat you down the track.
Secondly, I would get that tranny looked at just to be safe. It would be pointless to take it to the track with a messed up trans. You will just be back on here again complaining about how your track times sucked and you dont know why. Make sure everything it A-O-K before hitting the track with it.
Good Luck and enjoy

Were you ever able to get another vid of the car after it was tuned. Interested in hearing it.
I have this cam sitting in the garage and ready to be put in here in a couple weeks. Saving up to get it tuned, as well as getting the LS6 intake.
