Default dyno estimate
ok so i just put my cam in, rrs, and springs and im wondering what im gonna put down on the dyno. the cam is 218/218, .544/.544 lift, with 1.6 rrs, and triple springs. to back it up ive got cai, midtubes, straight exhaust no muffler with high flow cat, 3000 stall, and a built 4L60e. so my best times without the cam was 13.4 @ 102 with a horrible 2.1 sec 60'. so im wondering what im gonna dyno at and what type of et drop im gonna see.

Doesnt matter, auto tranny is an auto tranny...lots of drivetrain loss is my point.

not real sure how it's possible to bark 3rd in a 4l60 and 3.23's. you'd have to be doing 80? by then?? not seeing that. probably low 300's on the #'s

I would think that an Aftermarket stall would increase the efficiency. Plus lighter, stronger internals and whatnot. Can you tell I'm a manual guy

Not neccesarily. a loose stall verse a tight stall will yield different numbers (loose should cause lower hp numbers). My point was an auto versus a manual tranny, the auto will show less. People always quote 340350rwhp for cam only setups, well thats usually a manual tranny...thats why I mentioned auto.

I am a manual tranny guy too
