Default 230/236 on a 110lsa DYNO!!!

Well with AFR 180 heads and Hot Cam with unlocked 3500 stall I made 340rwhp. All I did was swap the damn cam to a 230/236 110lsa and put it on the dyno. With a lean 15:1 a/f it made 362rwhp at 6400 rpm. With a little tuning it made 374 rwhp at 6400 rpm. This is through pacesetter mids and a cutout! I could have spinned the motor a little higher but Geoff at EPS didn't recommend it. Thanks for the great work Geoff...

Wow you ran it to 6400 with A/F at 15:1

When your a/f is that far out you shouldnt be running to that kind of rpm. Once you see it dip down you should stop and go back and edit your tables to get it closer inline. Im amazed it didnt go boom on a stock shortblock

374 is very respectable with baby heads, unlocked stall, and through Mid tube headers.

Grats!

Thanks guys. My rwtq was 330 at 4700. That seems a little low to me. I was expecting a minimum of 350rwtq. What you guys think? Is the stall obsorbing torque or is the mid tubes hurting torque? Or???

A torque converter is a multiplication device. It isn't hurting your torque number.

Article in the latest GMHTP and the dynojet 224x showed 394rwhp where the Mustang was 369rwhp and the dyno dynamics was 366rwhp. That is a 6-7% higher than the other two brands.

I was told that SAE shows 10-15rwhp LESS than STD...
