why does my LS1 have less torque than everyonelse's

i dynoed my 2000 WS6 and got 318RWHP and 322RWTQ, the only mod was a moser 12 bolt with 4.10's, everyone else seems to get 320hp with 335tq or 310hp and 325tq, the torque number always seems to be way higher than the hp number, except my car. anyone have any ideas?

your 12 bolt probably has a hair mroe parasitic loss compared toa 10 bolt.

Minor variations/computer tune can account for it too.

This is true

And Phil, it's not like your making < 300rwtq...322 ain't too shabby and IMO isn't much less, if any, than you should be making. Your track times are pretty damn good and that's what really counts, not dyno numbers.

I think I heard that with 4.10's you will dyno a little less? The guy that was explaining it too me made it sound like putting on 4.10's is a great mod (my next by the way) and will improve ET nicely, but you will dyno a bit less...even though you are not slower. Is that true? Anyway, as 96SFLZ said, track times mean more than dyno #'s. And you do have nice track times.

10 rwhp is negligable. Your car could have been running hotter and what not. any number of factors. don't worry about it.
