Re: Question...... Every dyno is different, and it'll be totally useless for us to guess what horsepower you will make.
You'll know when you have a good tune when your A/F ratio is dialed in nicely, and you advance timing up as much as you can without detonation (maybe 28-30 degrees by redline?). After that, there isnt much you can do for peak power other than move the A/F ratio around a bit and see what the sweet spot is (talking a few hp difference).
Go dyno, dial it in, and share the results. Be sure to autotap log every run and keep track of which log matches what .ls1 file and dyno run.
