Well, I never really thought anything was wrong with the engine. The stall, however, is wrong. I was told it was a 3600 when i bought it but it is way too tight. It is under 3k. I'll eventually restall it and shoot for low 12s

Some of you guys have really dinky goals for your cars. Low 12's with a heads/cam package in a stalled automatic?

Start thinking about 11's and figure if it only goes low 12's something is wrong.

That's a ridiculous way of looking at things.

Nice going discrediting those who have done well. My 11.3x passes are in this video if you don't believe them, look for me at time marker 00:29:

The 1320 readings should quiet all, we'll just have to wait and see.

It's just odd that you would post a car that is really different than mine. Sure, you have a fast car, but it isnt too relevant. I'm just trying to be realistic. This car wont be modded much more for a while, as college owns my money. But low 12s out of a DD is ok with me

Posting my car was for the purpose of "fast on the internet" etc... not to compare to yours.

Nevermind my input, GL with your car.

The numbers are fine, stalled auto wont put up six speed numbers people like to go off. The proof is in the track times, my stalled auto in a bolt on LT1 put down 270RWHP on a shops dyno yet ran 12s, rather have the track times than a bunch of dyno numbers. Good luck with the car man, college and modding cars equals eating ramen and hot dogs. You'll get high 11s, just gotta work at it.

Every dyno is different, every car is different.
Don't worry about the nitpickers on here, if your 5hp from the average of any mod, all of a sudden thier's got to be a problem, a bad tune, or the opti's crap.

If I got the LE1 package and put down 350rwhp with a stalled auto, I would be happy camper. Who knows if the tune is perfect or not, and there might be some other factors, but for what the LE1 package is, that sounds about right. I don't think there is anything wrong with your car.

350rwhp is very respectable and you can move your powerband up and get some more HP by switching to a bigger cam if you want.

( on a side note, I read a post about no supporting mods? With power like that, you will see big gains from bolt ons... Cold air intake, headers and catback would net you another 25-30hp )

Good luck with the car and track times.
