Just for the sake of comparison here are the stock dyno numbers for GM High Tech Performance's 2 LT1 project cars:
The Grape of Wrath: 230.1 rwhp at 5000 rpm and 264 rwtq at 4200 rpm
LT1 Formula: 224.7 rwhp and 261.8 rwtq
Yeah, your numbers seem right on, especially compared with those GM High Tech cars. If my clutch install goes well and we figure out the starting problem on my car, we'll have to head up to Lebanon at the beginning of April (I think they open April 1st, but I have to check). I think we should run the Formula against the LT1. VIDEO!!!

LOL, yeah it'd probably be the only kill my stock LT1 ever has.

This sounds like an awesome project you got going here. Be sure to keep everybody informed. Another thing, is this mainly to see what our cars gain power wise from modifications, or will you be providing 1/4 mile times with each suspension mod you do as well??

It's gonna be both power and suspension. I need to get it baselined at the track and then I'll begin modding. I'm gonna wait on suspension until I get a bit more power and a converter. I just don't think the suspension will really be needed until later on. Drag radials should suffice.
