lol but you have a 2001, you've got rod bolts that can handle it. My 99's would laugh at me around 6700 as they broke apart and took out my bottom end. It's also a high mile engine so I kept it pretty tame, I'm not ready to pull it yet. Maybe in another year or two
Well my goal is to try and hit 500rwhp on motor and the go re-tune for nitrous and spray a 200 shot. But I'm using a Diablo sport programmer that is going to be programmed with two tunes. One is the 500hp N/A tune and the other is for the spray...Its a good setup that way because I will only use the bottle at the track.

They have been working on a new one for a wile, but it aways get put on the back burner when it comes to importance.
As far as my Engine mods:
Stock 2001 Bottom End had about [60K on the clock when this dyno took place]
Tuned by CARTEK
4X Ported 234 Heads
4X Cam
Fast 90/90
42# injectors [not sure what brand]
GM 85mm MAD
TSP 85mm Lid & K&N
Mizier EWP
Kelly Belle Boost-A-pump
QTP 1-3/4" Headers
TSP 3" True Duals with Dynatech Mufflers [to pass Englishtown Noise regs]
Dyno was through 4.56 gears.
There is a full mod list in the August 2007 GM High Tech on page 35
Hope that helps!

thats a good amount of mods. how are people pulling another 70rwhp to hit that 500 mark n/a?

I don't like to discuss prises, but if you like to find out you can call Dave of Julian at 908.317.4496
Yes I agree, A lot of cars are simply Dyno queens, you do not need a lot of tuning knowledge to lean out a car and make it hit 500 on a dyno. CARTEK is able to tune my car to hit 500 on the dyno and run 10.3's @ 132 as well. Wile doing all my own shifting, and driving it to and from the track.
Im telling you, this H/C setup is now proven to run well at the track. And the dyno numbers are nice as well. LOL
I shift at 7000rpm and cross the traps on the 7200rpm limiter.
No I'm just using 500 as a rule of thumb My tuner will drive my car around for three days while hes tuning it...He dials that **** in dead on. Then he finalizes on the dyno. But for the most part I'm trying to make the most usable rwhp that i can, because Ill find a way to use every last pony
But the car will be a terror at the strip!

Um.. If you look up you will see my dyno that says 507.9 RWHP I live 20 miles from CARTEK, so yes, they tuned it in house, on their dyno.

My car has a stock t-56, not auto.

With ARP rod-bolts you are safe. SixSpeedsInc pulled their stock bottom end to nearly 8000rpms over 100 times.

opps. sorry i saw the 433 and didnt look closer. thought that was your hp. my mistake.
didnt know you lived that close to cartek. thought maybe just dyno tuned somewhere with a map that cartek sent you.
whats your a/f under WOT? are you using HPT to tune?
sorry for the questions, its just iv never heard of cartek till i joined this site.. im shocked by the number of 10 second cars that have their h/c package.
since your still on the 346, hows your low to midrange? do they really make THAT much more then the afr 225 or trick flows?
1 last Q. what kind of rpms are you at on the freeway with the 4.56s?

I can't discuss my A/F ratio because I honestly don't know. I have been next to the car when its getting tuned, and I have seen them in the region of 12.5 to 12.4 I know Julio tunes cars to be very safe and it seems to work at the track. Obviously... Not sure what HPT is?
The mid range is not bad, but like most stock CID or stock bottom end LS1's it picks up A LOT with RPM. When the car hits 4500rpm it feels like someone turned on the nitrous.
I drive around on a 275 50 17 M&H Drag Radial, which is roughly 27" tall, maybe slightly higher, in 6th gear, at 75mph I am at about 2100 to 2200 rpm
