450hp 460lbs is this what I should be expecting????
So I went for a dyno tune last night. Made 450hp and 460lbs to the wheels when we were finally done. My tuner isn't confident with the timing so I was given the task of find true TDC and then return to the dyno. At one point the car made 480hp and 530lbs. we are unsure what has caused the drop. So what I am asking is with my setup are the numbers I have are what is expected?
04 Ls6 block fresh rebuild
ASP 25% UD pulley
Texas Speed PRC 2.5 5.3L heads 64cc I believe with all the up graded goodies and milled for high compression
Torquer V3 111lsa
Ls6 Intake
Ported stock TB
Holley EFI HP standalone
42lbs injectors
Custom High compression Diamond racing pistons (slight over bore and fly cut)
eagle h-beam rods
Arp rod bolts, head studs and main studs
SIKKY long tube headers with two 3 inch straight pipes
LS7 lifters
Upgraded comp cam truneion bearings
Hardened push rods
I may have forgotten a few things. Also I upgraded to a Melling high volume/high pressure pump and the gauge reads 65 at hot idle and has climbed over 100psi when WOT around 6000rpm. Is this something to be worried about?? I am running a 20w-50 Brad Penn oil
sorry it may sounds like a bunch of questions but I am trying to get it all figured out.
Thanks

530ft-lbs with a 346ci LS6 isn't right, even 460ft-lbs is high. Can you post the graphs from each?
Also, what are you talking about by "finding true TDC"?
I wouldn't worry too much about the oil pressure except it sounds like the clearances are kind of tight. A M10296 pump with the red spring usually doesn't make that high of pressure unless the clearances are on the tight side. Then again, I've never run 20w-50 in an engine either. Maybe try a lower viscosity oil.

Yea, that's way off! With that set-up, I wouldn't expect you to hit any more than 420hp/380ftlbs to the wheels with that combo. You really don't have anything spectacular as far as mods. A 346ci is not going to make the massive torque either....

My oil pressure was abnormally high. Turns out one cam bearing was installed improperly by the machine shop, blocking the oiling hole. Walked the cam bearing right into the path of a lifter. No damage other than trashing rod and main bearings, but still a PITA to tear down and put back together.
