Default Finally some dyno numbers!!!
Here it is... Mods are TR 230/224 cam, Powerbond UD Pulley, Hedman LT Headers, and True Duals through Flowmaster 40's! I was impressed!


And here's the video link:

The best run was 406 hp and 382 ft/lbs but this is the end result after tuning it for better drivability. Now it drives like stock with no trouble idling and no bucking/surging whatsoever. I couldn't be more pleased!

Nice results, sounded great on the dyno. Interesting how your torque is flat from about 3300-4500 and then ramps up, doesn't usually look like that.

Prior to the cam, the #s were 344 hp and 353 ft/lbs so the cam netted me 60 hp and 25 ft/lbs at the wheels.

Yep, those numbers are through a bone stock 10 bolt. And the torque on the low end is great... it broke the tires loose in 2nd gear at less than 2000 rpm so i need to get that sorted out, but it's still fun.
