Default Help!!!

I highly doubt that the stock block is bored .040 over. If it is then start saving up for a new motor

If its a stalled auto it will read low but even in the heat thats pretty low for that setup.

yes it has a built 4l60 with a Circle D single disk 3600-3800 stall

i know dyno numbers dont mean anything but bragging rights in this game! but i wanna know if thats the avg rwhp were the car should be based on the set up i have taking in consideration on the drivetrain loss and everything in between and also in weather temp i believe or was expecting at least in the 400 hp range but i may be wrong

What casting heads and who did the work to them ?? Also most stock
injector (28.8) combos don't max out duty cycle till around 430 ish r.w.
I agree it does seem low even considering stalled auto and the heat.
