Torque looks good. Peaks out at 5800. Dyno Dynamics-340hp/335tq. All and all the car runs good on the dyno. Getting an alignment in the morning and can get better feel. Needs to be driven since the hydraulics were messed with and brakes are brand new so. Graph be up when I get it.

Unfortunately no. Sometime this Spring my old man(his H/C/I/E '03 ZO6) and me plan on maybe going to another dyno to have an idea. No doubt it is a different car for sure. Really surprised though it peaked at 5800. It didn't want to go anymore than that. Played with lean and rich, and my car wanted more fuel and timing lol. Runs like a scolded ape. Now granted my hydraulics were disconnected and brakes are brand new, it is a little harder to drive for the time being. Air is working its way out of the hydraulics and getting a better pedal making it easier. From 2500 I think it was to mid 4000 that TQ curve was there. I'll post the graph once he has a chance to email it to me. I seen it so I don't care but like to atleast show you Martin.

I'm surprised it peaked at 5800rpm as well. It seems that the loaded dyno's like James DD make the engine peak sooner due to load placed on the drive-train. Most of these set-ups have been peaking around 6200rpm.

Valve train noise?

on the motor side it is smooth and quiet, I still have a little sewing machine it sounds like on the exhaust side. It is noticeable but nothing extreme. Guess you have to know what you are looking for, a few ppl have yet to notice it. Guess since it my car I can tell. The old setup was 6 years old so I knew it in and out. But like I said on the phone, it sounds like it is just resonating with my cheapo headers and y pipe. I am happy with it so far. Not sure if James will chime in about or not, told him about the thread, he might.

Ehh, I do but it crappy. It was untuned and running rough. I need a new one. May try to do one later. My Optima is being a Pain in the *** and not holding charge. Just left me stranded at Sams club lol. So when I go to swap it here in a few after I relax I'll take the point and shoot camera.

I feel your pain....Ive had 2 red tops and they both died at the 3 year mark. No pro rate or anything after that.... I was lucky to get the first one replaced for free but the 2nd I missed by 2 months...so i said screw it and got a 7 yrs Advance battery.

But Im now thinking of getting a yellow top and try it out.
