Very nice upgrades build similar to mine great results 343 rwhp is usable rpm range.
Dyno Jockeys also be crying for that extra 8hp at 6800 rpm not usable on the street.
My LS 360 rwhp very driveable and reliable.
Good work congratulation on using dyno as a tool for measurements.

TBH, I think it's the LS owners who get angry. It's not out of jealousy, I can't put my finger on it.
The 4th gen fbody is a funny car, it received basically all the great engines of the time (3.8 SII, LT1 and the LS1)
The 3.8 was the greatest V6 GM ever made and probably still is.
The LT1 was the most powerful and most advanced SBC ever made.
The LS1 was... the LS1. It coined the phrase "LS swap it".
If you choose to build a 4th gen and it's not an LS, people sure do get pissy.

We are not at all. I'd put good money on a solid 360 hp stalled auto LT1 destroying your grossly inflated cam only 408 rwhp dynoing car in the 1/4 mile. Your dyno is high and his is low because of the converter. With a locked converter his car would put down another 10-15 rwhp. You can tell it was either unlocked or downshifted when the rpms spiked then came back down when they laid into it.
I also think the traditional firing order sounds better. LS engines sound like crap and remind me of a crappy 2006 Chevy truck with the exhaust cut off which are all too common here. They drive around like their truck is fast too, slammed to the ground with obnoxious cutoff exhaust. I have schooled more than one of those trucks with my L31 383 and it is moving nearly 7,000 lbs.

I'm looking at the graph and I'm not smart enough to know what rpm range it is because the X axis is in MPH instead of RPM.

Close to the bottom of the page there is a gear/mph calculator that should be able to answer the question.

Here's what the online calculators are telling me. Assuming 1:1 transmission gear, 26" tires and 5% unlocked converter slippage.
With 3.23 gears the pull would have been roughly 3900-5500.
With 3.42 gears the pull would have been roughly 4200-5800.
Does that seem about right OP?
It would be cool to see what this cam did down closer to 3,000 but either way it's a pretty great looking torque curve.
Incidentally, I contacted Tick a few weeks ago and asked if they had dyno graphs of their various LT1 cams, or if they could tell me at what RPM the HM2 overtakes the HM1, and they did not have any info.
I would have thought a cam company would normally try their own cams?

My car has 3.23 gears.
