Looks good but I would fatten it up alittle and try dynoing with a cutout.

I just saw that that dyno was without a pulley, LTs and with cats...you have at least 25rwhp left in that combo.

Your 414 number (green) is coming from a dyno spike and does not represent the true number. We see this all the time. The other two are more accurate.

Also, you numbers are actual HP. The SAE correction would be less. SAE is how comparisons are made between different dynos on different days. Ask your dyno shop to print out the SAE numbers and let us know...

How does the car feel?

Once the pully, tuning, and perhaps long-tubes w/ORY are on the car, I think the full capabilities will be realized.

Default Absolute Speed Stage 2 Heads- DYNO

With some fine tuning, installing the pully, and maybe long-tubes with ORY pipe the true potential will be realized from my setup.
Thanks Jay ( from www.absolutespeed.net ) for the very excellent Stage 2 heads!

Also- Thanks to Guy from Eastside Performance for providing some very excellent customer service!

I hope I get some time on the 10 bolt.. who sells Strange Rears?

I plan on installing the pully, perhaps longtubes, and getting the LS1 Edit done on the dyno. This wideband was just to get a ballpark idea of where I was, ie A/F ratio. I'm "in the neighborhood" of where I want to be. The track will determine a lot as well.. I'm hoping to see my MPH rise a bit also.

Keep in mind that I paid a total of 1675 (no core) for the bare heads from Valvegod, Comp Springs from Thunder, Manley Valves and Gaskets/Bolts from Scoggins-Dickey, and drove to Long Island and handed the components to Jay www.absolutespeed.net and a short time later, UPS was handing me the heads. I installed them myself, using the EXCELLENT guide by JMX http://www.ls1howto.com/ and saved anywhere from $700-$900 on install costs. Plus- I recouped $300 by selling my stock heads.

Having the actual numbers still gives me great satisfaction, and I'll be fine tuning the PCM on the dyno this time. Then, I'll post the SAE numbers.. for the purists!

Do you have the SAE #'s ? Actual depends on the weather,not very good to compare with.
By the look of the graph,you need some more timing which will pull down the A/F's.14-1 is way too lean to drive around on.

One things for sure you did an outstanding job keeping the cost down, cause it sounds like you have about $1375 in your heads with all said and done.

Absolute barometric pressure
Vapor pressure
Intake air temperature
Correction Factor

I am hoping mine will show up in the next week or so. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I bought a TR 224 cam today to go with them. I see some posts of these other guys hoping to get into the 11's with a H/C setup, I am looking for 10's. I've done 11's with the interior still intact... I can't wait until April to see what she will run at the track, where is counts.
