Yeah i don't know why it put down low numbers. It was some cheap dyno i never heard of before. He said if it was on a dyno jet it would be right around 300-305. Plus the old girl had 151k for miles. Original plugs, Not to mention all the rest of junk parts that were taken off. My current list of things for the motor is as follows.
1. PRC 2.5 5.3 heads TSP
2. MS4 cam TSP
3. Eagle h-beam rods
4. Diamond pistons 347.
5. Main,cam etc bearings with arp hardware.
6. ls6 intake
7. pacesetter long tubes. ORY
8. Electric dump
9. Slp lid.
10. p&p TB
11. and you get the story. I hope for 450rwhp. I have everything else just waiting on the heads and cam. Give me a month or so to get some new numbers. I'm going back to the same dyno afterwards to see what the differance is.
