Could you guys note wether you used an open exhaust when dyno'ing? Seems like some folks do, some folks dont, and it makes a big difference <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

Some of these guys run great 60' times on nitto drag radials, but that is completely track dependent, it has almost nothing to do with the car itself. Good luck cutting low 1.6 60' times on drag radials. At my local tracks most guys cut 2.0-2.1 60' times on drag radials.

Getting back to gears, what good is power if you can't use it? 3.42s are not going to run that hot at the track no matter how much power you put out. You'll be stuck at 117-118mph trying to get through the traps at the top of 3rd gear (@6800rpm), or run around 116 shifting to 4th.

I am changing my gears, but only to 3.73's. I do not drag race as much as others. More into road racing.. I do not use an open exhaust or a cutout. I do not like the excessive noise..

Danka Schun!!

All my dyno runs are through the full B&B Triflow catback muffler. A cutout will give me 10-14rwhp ontop of the 405 I was making.

Yeah, thats pretty true...

For those of us who made 396 w/ stock heads, 400 for $1000+ just doesnt seem like a value ;-)

Not saying that what I *did* do was a value.... ;-)

Vis, looking at your sig it looks like you only picked up 16rwhp with the ARE stage 3 LS6 heads? Did I misread?

Stage 1's picking up 30 plus rwhp..? I have to question that..

So far, thats true. Although if you compared the area under the curve, it would really show the difference. In the stock head dyno, I had done *alot* of tuning and playing around to find the right combo. THats all worthless now with the new heads. I have to start all over again. TranZham has the same issue. Great stock head HP due to tweeking, then 41X hp with great aftermarket heads. He also needs tuning as well...

Tweek!

The only tuning I'm using is stock with a ported MAF..0 degrees of KR and 27-28 degrees of timing. I've tried the HPP tuning but it gave it 3-4 degrees of KR with the same amount of timing.My dyno was with the muffler off the car..basically a dump right over the axle...same reults a cutout mounted before the axle would give you.
