Thanks man, I really was not expecting this much power, and was more than content if it laid down 430(what it put down with the same setup but with a G5x2) I was a little suprised to say the least. I really only wanted 450 on motor, as i intend on spraying a 150 wet plate kit on top of it, but i'll take what i can get.

Nice job man, that 9 inch isn't helping you at all with the power. Great numbers.

Thanks man. Arent you one of George's buddies? I'm his buddy from Nashville if so. Yea, last time i dynoed it was through a 10 bolt with a stock Driveshaft. I was REALLY expecting to come out low after the cam install

heres the flop:
before-->
10 bolt
stock DS
ls6 intake
ported tb
28.8 injectors
G5x2 cam

Now:
9"
3" steel DS
Fast 90
NW 90
SVO 30's
Trex


I was really expecting it to almost be a wash due to the step up in drivetrain weight. I am strongly considering a swap over to a chromoly DS in the near future to negate some of that weight.

Very nice numbers. Where are you shifting at? 6700?
Do you know if your GMPP heads are pretty comprable to the TSP stage 1 cnc heads? If I can gain 30 rwhp by going with the fast 90 setup I may have to start saving!

I'm not sure. I do have flow numbers on them however, and i will try and dig them up for ya. If my memory serves me correctly, they flow like crazy at mid lift, and die off to a 306cfm@.600 lift. The impressive part is they flow what they do on stock LS6 valves. I'll see if i can find the flow numbers for ya tongiht though.


As for shifting, i plan on shifting at 6900ish, and seeing how the car likes it.

I'd shift that sucker @ 7200rpms and call it a day Nice power my friend! Those heads really compliment the T-rex(240cc). I use to have a pair of them, they worked great.

I know I know. I had the option, get a LC-1 or get the pulley. I can honestly say the LC-1 is one of the best buys for this car. Very useful, and once wired into the cars computer, you can datalog directly into HPtuners. I have my tuner to thank for all of this(camtom12) he is the tuning monster!

I would assume with a pulley, that should get me over 460rwhp, that and dynoing with bullet style mufflers

Completely agree. I am suprised more people dont use them to be honest! I get a inkling they will really respond well to nitrous as well....

I am going to test it shifting at 6800 first, then step up to 7k, then probably try out 7200 a few times and see if its worth the extra stress on the motor/drivetrain.

And thanks man!

Tim

My opinion? i love the Ram HD. It's been nothing but perfect for me. From 2-step launches at 5200-5500, to 4800+clutch dumps. It's never missed a beat. I actually prefer a little heavier clutch after driving the HD. It makes the stock clutch feel a little too mushy, and unreliable.
