Default 2007 baseline

I got a new baseline dyno today. The only change from last year's was 5k more miles(now at 20k) and changing over to synthetic fluids. I was curious whether the synthetics would actually show a gain after 5k miles of use.

Net result, +2 whp.

Now I'm ready for those LT Headers! I'm hoping for +20 whp.

It's hard to say what they gained you unless it's back-to-back but good thinking to get a baseline at the beginning of the year. Let me know if you want some help on those headers since we're neighbors and all...

Thanks for the offer, but they're already waiting up at Ellis' place. I'll be taking the car up there Sunday. I'll also be getting my Rip Shifter installed as well as steel brake lines. This should be another fun year!
