I would look into a converter though, it would help your car out a lot...Check out something that stalls between 500-900 rpm below your torque peak....

Good to know that 12.8 is good and what you run. Yea I agree with the track times proving the performance more so than dyno numbers. A converter will be my next mod, I need to get my torque graph so I can pick out the proper converter.

All dyno's are different.

I think 330rwhp for that car and mods is pretty damn good, good luck with'er stealth at the 1320.

Your numbers are fine. Autos are not dyno queens, and those numbers are perfectly average, and just getting off then back on the dyno can change the numbers. Nothing to be concerned about.

Once again, well said!

Autos dont need 400rwhp to run good times. An auto with lots of stall+gear with 320hp to the wheels will surprise the hell out of a 400rwhp 6speed in the 1/4.

Also, the area under the curve is very important. Dyno curves that look like the side view of an arrowhead are no good for the track, and no fun on the street.

I don't think the numbers are bad considering the temperature.

With a good converter and tire, your car would hit bottom 12s.

Every dyno is different. A dyno will give you a pretty good idea of how your car will perform, and is an excelent tuning too when used with the right software (and tuner). You do not race on dynos, you race at the track (or the street Are there other cars that have dynoed at the same shop that you can compare yours to?


BTW, When you put a converter in it your numbers will probably go down, but your performance will improve.

Not bad numbers. Just get it to the track and see how it does.

They correct numbers to SAE, not temp.

SAE calculations include a temperature conversion.

i believe hp calculator calculates power at the crank not the wheels. so 328 at the wheels is somewhere around 400 at the crank. i also had the cc503 with unorted heads and made 320 at the wheels going through a th400 with a 4500 stall and a moser 9" i went 11.70's with that combo and spraying a 150 shot on it went 10.70's. i guess my point is dyno numbers arent good for anything but tuning.

I've been talkin to Stealth and im definetly goin with the 503.... just got a question. Everybody's been saying that this cam works wonders on stock heads, does that mean that it wont gain much from some head porting? I guess im asking how much you can gain from some work on the stockers? Thanks for the input.

It really depends on what your heads will flow, if you get a good dynotune afterwards, and supporting mods. I don't think you will break 400rwhp with this cam but I'd say 380 is possible.

I've heard that heads really wake the 503 up so I would think it woudl respond nicely to some head work


anyone think my 328rwhp thru the auto is low im wondering if id benefit from having someone else tune it?

i have a cc503 and GTP heads and the heads really did wonders for it. i have not dynotuned it yet but i think it makes in the 370-380 range when i compare it to some other cars i have driven and/or riden in.

and no you numbers sound about right, take it to the track. if it does not perform well there then think about another tune.
