it doesnt matter, dyno numbers are there to tune the car, different dynos give different numbers, all that matters is that your happy with it and it does well at the track!

Yeah, if you want to brag on the internet about your dyno numbers...don't get an automatic with a big fancy torque converter.

your th350 is where that 50hp is. They are really strong but add a lot of drive train loss. I bet your car is a monster at the track though

Stall may have ate up some of the #'s, Sounds like it is set up correctly for the track though...

maybe so but i didnt pick out a solid roller woth dart heads to get in the 300s for rwhp LOL i know dyno is used as a tool but it just feels weird not to make more than 400rwhp with a heads and solid roller cam stroked small block chevy..... i mean hell i make 360rwhp with my basic bolt on LS1 that just has magnaflow, and headers!!!! one thing i am hoping is that the cutouts are restricting the air flow and plus the timing and jet sizes arent where they want to be..... on top of that my plugs looked almost fouled!!!! i feel like a little bitch whining about dyno numbers but damn, 380rwhp aint winning many races i dont care what you have it in!!!!
