Good luck on your next dyno pull. Just remember that dyno numbers are just that. Only numbers. A mere tuning tool. Is it the same dyno you got your current numbers ?

Again good luck.

Ported 5.3 heads with a 10.75.1 compression

I had a highway tune and after I install the FAST fuel rails and 60lb injectors and a 100mm MAF I will be taking it to be dyno tuned.
Mill those heads a bit, and/or use a thinner gasket to increase compression and improve quench. The boost in compression should help in your quest for 500 rwhp, and will also sure up your low end TQ ~~

Hey!! How are you?!

No new pull yet. The car is away for the winter. I'll get a new tune in the spring and get a new pull. I'm not sure what dyno though.

I really think that the SLP LT's and cats are holding me back.

How is your car doing?!

489 HP 538 Tq with my current set up I could not afford the Trick Flow heads. Spray a 125 shot and get it tuned you will love the TQ. Your car will smoke the tires in third gear! You see how close I am with stock heads.

Really? I find it extremely hard to believe - wait, no, impossible to get those numbers on a 346 with stock heads, and or no power adders.

Not trying to be a douchebag, but I really don't think it's possible.

stage 3 spec clutch
descreened maf sensor
stock ls1 intake and throttle body
voodoo .567" lift cam at 228 dur 113 LSA

so far ive put down 397whp, and 430ft/lbs all at the wheels.. you can find my dyno sheet in the dyno section on here..

my goals are simple break 500whp using my heads and stock cubes with no boost..

I understand the ls1 intake is a restriction and if i change now to a ls6 id prob be close to 410whp with that alone.. and i also know I will need a larger camshaft.

this is all put through a t56 trans..

tell me which cam i should pick to do this on the stock cubes and natural aspiration while being fairly streetable.. it will be a weekend cruiser for me not a daily driver.. but id like decent mileage out of it too of course..

I always could just spray nitrous on top of what I already have but id like to have the power all the time and no refill costs. what ya all think??


You can try a more aggressive cam and a better intake but u still won't hit the 500 RWHP mark. You will also need a shot of juice to hit that mark.

I went with F/I because I did not want to run Nitrous. One back fire and you can toast your motor

I'm pretty sure those numbers are with the 125.

If that's with a 125 shot, than it's definitely believable. I didn't see anything in his sig about nitrous and he didn't say he was running a shot so I assumed it was NA. Thanks for clearing that up!

Think its going to cost some $$$ to get to 500rwhp with no nitrous.
Maybe you could stroke the engine?
