SAE or STD numbers?

Something is off with these numbers and only 360rwtq. That is only slightly better than cam only torque numbers.

I guess track numbers and trap speeds will tell the real story.

i agree here, i'm making 100 ft lbs more torque with only 30 more cubes... that wide lsa makes for a great peak number but your average torque is gonna suck

Was the converter locked or unlocked? Great numbers either way.

If that is in fact true, then this thread and these numbers become even more fishy and unbelievable.

An unlocked auto with a stall that big (3800) will normally have a torque spike which should have put out substantially higher torque numbers than the 360 claimed. The torque spike at the beginning of the dyno run should have been well over 400.

Take for example the old LT1 setup I ran. Through a th400 and 9inch with a stall that went to 3500 on the transbrake (on motor), my torque spike went almost to 500rwtq. A th400 except for a few exceptions can not be locked which means that when you dyno with a big stall, you see huge torque.

360rwtq through an unlocked auto with a 3800 stall is VERY low. Had the converter been locked, it still would have been low considering the rwhp the car is claimed to have made. When I made similar power numbers THROUGH A 6SPD I made 390rwtq. How could this auto with a big stall not make more torque but still made those power numbers?

I'm not trying to rain on any one's parade, but I guess the track numbers will tell the true story.

Just because the SHEEPLE of LS1tech think it's not possible, doesn't mean it's true. If you listen to what everyone says, then you will have a car JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. C'mon... I have a forged 355 with an outdated cc306 and my car made 330/298... Shitty as hell right? Well it also traps 89mph and runs 7's... and that was before the suspension.

Just because "sheeple" understand physics and the mathematical formula behind calculating RWHP (it is derived from torque) doesn't mean you can't have an incorrect oppinion.

I don't understand why you are bragging about your car instead of logically thinking about what was posted? How did your personal attack support or discredit anything I said? Moreover, how did your post about your car add anything to the comments already made? Did your post support his dyno numbers or congratulate him? Did your post discredit anything I said or provide any counter argument?

PS: My car dyno'd under 350rwhp and ran 98+mph. Good numbers from your car though, I hope they only improve with the recent suspension mods you have done. Good luck!

I like how people on this site like to dyno race. The only reason he posted the numbers was because people wanted to see what these heads are capable of granted everyone will make a different power number in the end with different cams and setups. I think he will run pretty good once he gets to the track heck his car went 7.70s in the 1/8th with boltons and over 100 less hp. Not to mention all the weight he has taken out, also he has a good setup to spray the **** out of it and thats what he wanted in the first place!

sounds like a stout combo, you should put a crossover pipe in there, I'm sure it'll pick up some power along the curve and sound nicer too

as for the dyno numbers, some dynos are more generous than others. I've seen a dyno near me read 370rwhp for an LS1 car with LT's and a cut off muffler.

Have you had any pretty Sundays yet? It's killing me to know what the car is going to run. 418rwhp. Generous dyno or not it's still going to run about what it use to on the spray just on motor alone. Keep us updated.
