Default H/C/I guess!

Been a member for awhile, mostly just on here for input and ideas. I have a 2000 ss with 85k on the clock. Car is in the shop atm getting afr 225's, tsp tsunami, fast 102/102, 42lbs injectors, and a good tune. I have full bolt-ons, headers, lid, pully, exhaust, plugs/wires, 10 bolt 4:10's tru trac, LS2/LS7 fly-clutch, subframes, LCAs, panhard. Wondering what i can expect HP/TQ. All the searches say around 420-480 rwhp some near 500. Let's hear some input!

I wouldn't worry about the numbers it puts down on a dyno. I would worry about the number it lays down at the track because that's the real indication of how much power you're making. I made 420 on a dyno but have trapped the highest of 132MPH in the 1/4 with a H/C/I 346 naturally aspirated.

Low numbers.....416/407.....still have stock maf, and lid feeding the fast 102/102. Air density was terrible today, humid and hot, calculated to about 3412ft elevation. Pulls like Hell up top. Have pics and vids coming soon along with dyno graph.

Like I said before I wouldn't get caught up in the dyno numbers. I had the same results through a stock MAF in hot weather.

Thing I'm worried about is the cam. I've heard many tsunami cams online and in person and it lopes pretty hard. My car at a idle almost sounds like stock and its on a 111 lsa! Will get try to get vids up tonight.

What is your idle set at? Those numbers seem low to me. Who did the tune and what kind of dyno was it?

Yeah, Tsunami cam is like a 235/240 so it's definately not on the small side. I have the Torquer V3 which is also on a 111 lsa and my idle is set at 900rpms, no question there is a cam in there.

It is quite a bit low....those are close to cam only numbers.

Dyno jet, it was a very hot, muggy, humid on dyno day. Lethal performance tuned it in San Antonio. Just doesn't seem right to me. Going to call tsp tomorrow. Only thing I want to change soon is a new lid and 100mm maf, maybe the stock maf is choking it up?????

I know! I have the cam card. Waiting on my camera to post the vids I have. With long tubes, ory, dynomax bullet (hollow, looks like an expanded piece of exhaust tube) out to duals at bumper. No cats, no muffler, you would think you would hear the lope but hardly can at idle, at WOT its loud as Hell. Everyone will see the idle vid soon.
