Question Right dyno numbers???

I was looking at every body else's numbers and mine seem to be low? I got the hooker headers and hooker y pipe and flowmaster cat back. Making 319 hp and 333 trq. Does this sound about right?

elevation makes a big, big difference. LS1's run mid 14's up in the rockies that equates to what, a 50 horsepower difference at a mile high (VERY rough estimate)?

You should see a pretty good difference going from an 80 series to bullets

you suppose.....lol.



is your car tuned? If not, between that and the slowmaster will be killing you. what was your a/f for the dyno run? Sometimes headers will make you run really rich, killing power.
