This was just showing where my stock dyno was at ... LT1's have one hell of a torque curve, and that is what gets them off the line so well, and why a 3,000+ stall really makes a difference, even in a non-cammed LT1. You are peaked into the TQ, and because you are out of that low HP lag area, you are in the power sooner, and longer, which helps a ton. I am sure I am beating a dead horse telling you this, but I figured I would inform those who do not know.
