Awesome numbers. I've seen many cars that put down strong numbers at the track that were broken in like they were stolen. I am a believer in "break it in like you want it to run", although aging has calmed me down some.

Awesome numbers. That is what I am trying to get out of my 383. I would have to agree that RPMs dyno is about as honest as it gets, if not a little stingy. I did 463/421rw on a local AWDMD and only put down 477/435rw on RPM's DJ with the same tune. I worked on the tune some and walked out with 487/442rw with some room left in the tune. Most of the gains were in the middle though.

Let us know how it goes at the track tomorrow. I wish I could make it out. I bet the DA is going to be -1500 or more. Should be one of the greatest days of the year.
