You saw a freak Ls1 then, on a freak dyno (alright let me rephrase).
Let's just say it's not the norm.

I'd post the graphs but they are from two different places and are in different formats. Anyway, low end torque is way up and stays up higher through the rpm range. It's above 300tq from 2k to 6.4 and peaks at about 4.6k then slopes off about 40ft lbs at6.4k. Peak hp plateaus at about 5.6k and stays there to 6.4k.

I think I can eek another 23 hp out of this before I am done.

You guys want me to post my graph of 418rwhp cam only? Well, here it is. Do I believe my own graph? NO!



My point is the 400rwhp through Hotcam only is not the norm, so don't be pissed off if you're at 365-380 with that cam, 'cause that's what it gives ya.
Fine tune away and get the ponies up. More power to ya.

The sheet posted is a true sheet from a day at the tuner with my car. Only that I had the car dynoed again at another place the same day and the peak #'s varied as much as 25hp. I don't believe that my car has 418rwhp. Track times in the low 12's confirm that.
So, just 'cause a dyno sheet says something, it's not gauranteed accurate.
