Default Project LS1 Monte SS tips the dyno today at 424 RWHP/400 RWTQ!

I spent quite a few hours on the dyno today flogging my just installed MTI S2 heads with LS1_Edit. The best results were 424 RWHP & 400 RWTQ through mufflers and tailpipes (no CAT's). This is a gain of +33 RWHP and +29 RWTQ over stock heads. I was honestly hoping for a bit more based on what I see others reporting with S2 heads compared to stock ones but really can't (and shouldn't!) complain. I will port the LS6 intake next and see if I can't squeeze out a few more HP to get me to ~430 RWHP.

I actually got my best power runs pulling the timing back from 30° last time to 26° this time since I was seeing some Knock Retard at 28-30° with the A/F at ~12.9/13.1.

Those are some awesome numbers. I'm looking for the same similar results when I get my conversion together.

Those are good numbers for a B1 cam. Put the X1 cam in and you could gain another 10 Hp <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Geesh, it really is suprising how few responses you have gotten. All of a sudden a 420rwhp H/C car is not impressive? Not bad numbers at all man. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Nice did you use 26 degrees of timing all the way across?

Thanks all for the positive feedback <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">where did you dyno at?</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">blackend02, I dynoed in Steve Barker's personal garage again at his house in Puyallup where I re-baselined the car last month at 391 RWHP.

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> did you use 26 degrees of timing all the way across </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Pro Stock John, I flatlined 26° from 5600 RPM & up, however, at midrange I bumped it to 28° between 4400 & 5200 and left the A/F at ~12.5:1 and picked up 5 RWTQ.

If you read the response above that I gave to PSJ, I think I found the timing-A/F sweet spot for nice torque numbers since the factory PCM drops timing to 23° in this midrange area whereas I added 5 more degrees here <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
