Default Gonna Dyno for the first time monday!

Well im gonna go Dyno my car monday so i have a starting point to see what i gain after all my mods coming next month....

Pretty excited it will be the first time i will have ever dynoed a car.

The car is 100% stock except i cut the stock airlid....

Car feels so sluggish! Guess Ill have to wait and see what happens at the dyno...just hoping not to pull like only 290rwhp lol that would be a bad starting point.



Next month ill be installing:

Vig 3600 stall (been trying to get that installed for 2 weeks now! something always comes up!)
Tranny Cooler
LS6 intake
Ported stock TB
MSD wires / Plugs
PRC stg 2.5 5.3l heads
Custom Pred-Z cam
OBX heads
True duals out the back no mufflers

Then im going to get a full dyno tune! (Didn't realize it was gonn cost me $500-$700 but im gonna need it lol)


Hopefully this will wake it up!!

285 will be right in the ballpark, I don't see headers on your list, are you sticking with manifolds?

280-290hp should be about it for stock, but thoose mods will make the car roll out

I'll guess 290. You shouldn't have any issues putting down well over 400RWHP once you're done!

Good luck on the dyno! It's always exciting even with a stock car!
