must have been a bad day to dyno lol....

his 4l80e died? i thought 4l80e were alot stronger? I beat this stock tranny to 6800 rpm for months with my cam only setup, then i beat the hell out of it with the sts setup for a few months to 6500 rpm, and now its just giving out on this setup....

so i must have had a pretty strong tranny to hold all the power for that much abuse for that long lmao!!!!!

Guys what about the L33 it is a 5.3 came in 05-07 short bed Silverado extened cab. They come with 799 heads (same as the 243 ZO6 heads). It is all aluminum and can be had for short $ I paid $750.00 with 29K miles with everything even the TCA and the computer. Stock is 320HP

Lighter and better heads. I am building a kit car and will be using this....now maybe with a turbo.

My friends truck made 681/712 the way it is in the video. 5.3, Z06 cam, Patriot Dual springs, PI 5 disc 3400, 80e, 9.5" rear end, 35" tires, 20" wheels. That was at 19lbs. This pass was at 14lbs, any more and it would jump all over spinning all 4 tires on the launch. And of course its tuned by HellbentS10.

To make 800 with low IATs and low boost yes a PT88 would be ok ide think, I am thinking of using a GT4202 (74 MM) to make 700 at around 16-18 PSI with a Z06 Cam, good springs, possibly ported heads, arp rod bolts, mls hg's, and arp headstuds...

Flywheel or wheel horsepower?

That truck I posted was making well over 800 crank hp with a BW S468.

I think he was referring to wheel horsepower but it may have been flywheel...I am gunning for 700 wheel so in theory around 750-770 flywheel...

If your gunning for 700rwhp, depending on your setup.... that would put you near 900 flywheel hp
