Default TSP Cam Dyno results are in!

I will post the actual dyno graph some time later next week when i have access to a scanner.

The mods -
jet hot LT's, ory pipe, slp loudmouth, whisper lid, asp pulley, and TSP torquer cam (233/233 589/589 112 lsa)

this was with the stock throttle body and stock MAF.

it made 411 RWHP and 380 RWTQ

i was happy

Where did you have your tuning done? Numbers like yours are what make me uneasy about my combo...

Ive got a TSP 231/237 cam, CHS stage II heads milled .030, Mac midlengths, stock TB, and a lid.

When it was tuned MTI could only get 403 hp 376 tq. out of it


Very impressive with your numbers though, I wish I could say the same!

man, maybe something is wrong. My 2000 ws6 made 403 with a tr224 and stock heads tuned by mti. You need to get rid of those midlenghs, port your tb, and you might pick up 15-20 rwhp

you people also need to realize that all cars will dyno different #'s for different reasons, no matter what mods you have, same thing as on the track. Just the way it is.

Yes to porting your TB for perhaps 10rwhp, but getting higher peak #'s from an LT vs MACs, i do not think so.
Macs are known to make better peak #'s and LTs provide slightly better trq #'s and HP #'s under the curve.
Of course if you go with the best of best at $1300>1800 with y's (QTP/Kooks)
But that is steep in my book for 10HP or so.
IMO a good set of 5.3L stage 2's would be better bang for the $$.
