Also what do u guys have ur rev limiters set at?
You can check out my dyno graph. Red is NA pull.

Seems like ur numbers at 3600rpms are better than a car w/ headers alone and things just keep getting better up to 6000 or 6100. I would guess that the #'s in the 3000 are stock or slightly better. Sounds pretty good to me.

Does the car pull at all in the 2xxx's? Is it a dramatic loss or does it feel close to stock?

I'm 99.9% sure i'm getting one in a few weeks

haha I'm never on it in the 2000 RPM range. 3400 stall so once the go pedal hits the floor it starts turning so major RPMs.

Theres no real loss...it feels stock downlow. I have a 2800 stall and 3.23 gears..so that might make a difference. But it seems that once im near 4K rpms...it hits HARD. dramatic difference...and I am not even shifting all the way to where I should be because im still in 'break in' period. I am shifting at stock automatic shift points, id imagine it would pull a bit harder when i start manually shifting the auto.

Re: 224/230 feeling

Between 3000-3500 is where it starts coming on. I shift at 6000. I raced a 94Z a couple of weeks ago. He had a 383 with the hotcam kit. I pulled a 1/2 car in each gear from 4500-6000. You could really feel,see the difference in the power bands.

Re: 224/230 feeling

I think it depends on the setup. I'm running a XE 224/230 with heads, 1.6rr's, 4.10's, etc., etc., etc., and mine begins to rocket away @ 2500 RPM, and it doesn't quit until about 6000 (that's where I shift at least...)

Re: 224/230 feeling

I'm running 4.10's in my 10-bolt, which are fine...but keep in mind I seldom drive it with slicks on, and I don't get on it often. Anyways, as far as head work, I just bought some GTP Stage II heads off this board. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the flow #'s were along the lines of 265 int & 190 exh...?
