Werd, but what I meant though was quit worrying about LS6 intakes and nonsense and go for a stroker/L92/L76 setup.

It almost seems like a waste to buy a really good set of heads/cam/intake for a 346 engine now. With the L93/Ls3 motors making so much power for so cheap you might as well just replace the engine and sell the 346 outright to someone else.

I thought it was normal for cars to vary +/-8rwhp from the factory!!! It sounds like you guys are expecting these cars to make the same numbers dead on.

Your numbers are definatly realistic i don't see why people would doubt it, one of my old h/c f-bodies made 476 rwhp with a ls6 intake and through the fbody y pipe. Dyno's all read within ~10 hp of each other, it isn't the dyno that is off it is the things that you hear of people doing to make the dyno read higher. For example an employee at one shop (not mentioning any names) explained how they got a high number out of a C6 Z06 that the shop modified by putting ultra light weight wheels/tires, no belts for the run, race gas with a very aggresive tune, and a portable A/C unit blowing onto the intake, not cats etc. where it made well over 600 rwhp. Yet when they returned the car to a real world condition the car only made 560 to the ground. Which is still a very respectable number but more in line with what everyone else in the real world makes.

Just wondering why a shop like MTI is still using such an old version of Winpep? V 4.95?

It's is just the quickest and easiest to use, or maybe i'm just slow the jury is still out on that one lol.... we have the latest software on the dyno computer though.

That's ridiculous. That's about 80 rwhp over most stock LS1s.

A shortblock is NOT $1300. The bare block may be, but the shortblock is not.
