The purpose of a dyno is to tune an engine and rate horsepower, but the best part of a dyno run is the noise. At least it is if you have an LS2 under the hood with some nice pipes. The actual car is immaculate as well: the paint is beautiful, and the wheels are […] More »
We got wind that Dart’s new LS block was nearly complete and a recent dyno session with a 434-cubic inch version confirmed our suspicions! The motor made 740 hp at, wait for it…7000 rpm!
