I'm wondering how u can make 1100 ftlbs.

My first Nova combo was 5.3 w/ 317 heads (poor choice), 224r cam, GT45 master power turbo. 15psi + 50hp nitrous... through a TCI streetfighter converter (another poor choice, blew through a lot). In my 72 Nova w/ me in it (3660lbs) went 10.31 @ 131mph. HP/weight calculate out to 640whp.

MPH would be nice to add to that list also.... MPH I think is more valuable info than ET. ET would pertain to the car/chassis more, MPH would pertain to the HP and efficiency of your driveline.

Hopefully in the next week or 2 i'll have another 5.3 to add to this list...should be a lot better than my previous one. PT76GTS, glide, and a decent converter this time. I swapped out my 370 for a stock 5.3 bottom end in my TA.

Its torque multiplication from the converter. It slips and allows you to build boost then hits the drivetrain hard once it locks. My converter does the same thing. 775 ftlbs 685 whp. Its like a running start.

I have a junkyard 5.3 with ls9 head gaskets, head studs, afr 205, 224/224,
victor jr, 102tb, a masterpower 76mm, and 80lb injectors with a e85 and magnafuel 750 threw a
4l80e made 790hp 792ftlbs. Have not had a chance to run it at the track yet.

I understand, but THAT much. Urs is typical I guess, less than 100difference, but 300ftlb difference? 5500 stall? Lol.

What dyno was this on skinnies?

It should be disregarded as a number that is accurate, it is just from the dyno/converter. If it were on a engine dyno it would not show such a high number.

Or a shot of n20 down low.

No nitrous, that setup builds boost instantly, the converter isn't a 5500 converter, its a PTC 3200 spec by Dusty Bradford. I have a graph someone, I posted it on here before. I don't have a dyno video, but the track times back up the numbers. Even the lighter mustangs/other swaps haven't been anywhere near the mph we put down. The car is on e85 as is all our turbo builds. It was on houseofboost's Dynocom Eddy-Current Load Dyno. The reason the tq number is so big is the hp number is so high at low rpm, I had full boost at a very low rpm. When you have 20lbs of boost at 3500 rpm vs 10lbs of boost, yes it's going to make a lot more tq.

very mildly setup 5.3 i posted did 705ftlbs easily

Im gunnin for ya! Ive got a working boost controller now and an intercooler setup thats almost finished. Ill give it the college try and see if I can best a 8.64 in a few weeks

nice, im waiting on someone to beat it so can get some motivation to put together the new setup and see what we can do on clean passes.

Are you going to update the list?

I would say that you bring up a good point. I am curious to see what dynos others are tuning on as well. For example my car was tuned on a Dyno Dynamics, which is generally a lower reading dyno.

How does the Dynocom dyno compare to a Dyno Dynamics?

What's the "custom" ls9 gaskets about? What's custom about them? I would love to run them on my tfs 235's but the bore just isn't big enough for my heads.

Bobsmyuncle

iTrader: (32)

what heads are they??

or what bore size are they i should say.

deeloc1

iTrader: (20)

They are Trickflow 235's which require atleast a 4.125 gasket or the gasket will be exposed to the chamber. They are on my 6.0 lq9, which will accept the ls9 gaskets no problem. I believe the ls9's are 4.10, which is no good with my heads. Right now i am forced to go with 4.125 cometics for my build.

iTrader: (32)

Yes, i will.

were the heads milled atall?

id take a set dial calipers and measure the chambers on em just to see what theyre at
