They will generally dyno 380 on the low end and 395 on the high end stock. With bolt-ons and a tune they will see 430-440. Cam only they have seen 500rwhp.

A few of the "locals" like to rag on my car's torque figures in my signature since it is a small displcement/big turbo car on pump gas; even when their traps are some 20mph less in the qtr.

Back on topic, I'm looking forward to seeing just about how much boost this version of the LS3 can hold
