Just got word on my car's dyno.
340hp/395tq.
Kinda dissapointing, but not at the same time, what do you guys think? Low? High? about right?

 

For a car with cheap *** edelbrock headers, a 48mm tb, stock exhaust, and a mail order.... it isnt bad. Get rid of those bottle necks and you will be set.

 

man, if I had the money I'd move up to some tri-ys, but until then this is where its at, thanks though! Gotta get those covers in next week and get her to the track to see some times.

 

just by your sig - i'd want a 3600 stall, long tubes, 52mm tb, 30# injectors and tune for that.
similar to my mods - it screams!

 

oh well stall is 3000 now, new converter and little bit higher stall. Right now got some 42 lbs svos, so I guess I just need that TB and those long tubes!

 

Are the trickflows stock? Have your stock TB ported to a 52mm, to save some money. Pacesetter headers aren't bad for the money, but I would have a nice custom y-pipe made. Something with a good merge point. Not the regular crap most companys send you when you order their y-pipe.

 

Your torque is where the money is in a 383. Take advantage of the torque curve and don't pay any attention to the HP. Get the right gear, learn your shift points and say "adios" to your 350 friends.

 

can you post the graph?

 

I'll see if I can get one faxed or emailed over to me today.

 

Yes, the heads are stock, only upgrade are the 1.6 RR. How much would porting the stock TB cost?

 

Three years ago I was charged $150. Save up and get those heads ported by Lloyd or AI.

 

heads and TB will help you out alot closer to 400 I bet

 

Well heads are stock Trick Flows. But it still applies, porting them will do something, hopefully, theres another post where the ported Trick Flows didn't really get as much as I'd imagine.

 

Actually considering the heads and intake are untouched, and through a 48mm tb and shorty headers w/stock exhaust your numbers are pretty strong. how does the car feel? should feel awesome with that extra 100+ ft/lbs ...

The trickflow heads are nice pieces, but "as cast" are not hugely impressive. Aftermarket castings dont really shine until you have some portwork done on them.

Well I wish I knew, but I don't have the car back yet, I need to get some taller valve covers, cause at high rpm, they still hit a little. So I order those on monday and get the car back next week. Will post graphs, videos etc. then!
