Re: dyno #s alittle unhappy!! Judging from the fact that you made 10 more FTlbs of torque than HP I would say that your car is badly in need of a tune. I think those are great numbers, the gears are sucking up about 5-10 dyno HP also. I would expect it to make around 375/365 with some tuning.

Re: dyno #s alittle unhappy!! any other opinions on my #'s is 400rwhp obtainable with out head work? With a good tune and a LS6 intake what kind of time do you think i'll run?
Re: dyno #s alittle unhappy!! i dont see you hitting 400hp without heads and that cam. My friend in his 02 with the 224/224 .581 112 cam pulled 399hp on stock heads. You would be doing very good to get in the 380-390 range with that. I'd say 380 is gonna be good on your setup. As far as ET's go.. its anyone guess. Ive seem M6s go 12.6's with cams and then ive seen them go mid-uppers 11's with that cam. Its just a mattr of if you can launch on sticky tires and nail the shifts... Do you have any bolt on times before cam?
intake will help that cam breath as well as a open exhaust, but you HP numbers should be about 20 higher than your tq numbers with a good tune. You need to find out you A/F and if you got knock on that run!

Re: dyno #s alittle unhappy!! How many miles does the car have? I would also do a leakdown AND compression check if I were you. Just to be sure the bottom end isn't hurting at all. Even without an intake, you should have made more than 357 rwhp. Do a good tune up, change the fue filter if you havent already, do the checks, and then redyno it. FWIW, I have seen an LS1 intake car make 380 rwhp with stock heads and a T1 cam.

Re: dyno #s alittle unhappy!! I would change your plugs also. Somehow platinum plugs sucks when installing higher performance. Most sponsors dont even sell any platinum tips. Couple months ago, I installed denso irridim plugs and the difference was awesome. Have no dyno sheets but gained 9 rwhp. And like everyone said, get tuning.
