Thumbs up 473rwhp/446 ft.lbs, not too shabby for an LT1

well got it on the dyno tonight, rings still aren't seated and i need to change to synthetic oil .

thanks to Wikid ta, he gave me his old program, which made the car drivable and allowed me to get some miles on everything i picked up almost 20 rwhp/24 lb.ft once Dave Henninger got done tuning it. and the A/f line is almost as straight as a rulers edge hovering at just under 13.0. i can still throw another 2 degrees of timing at it on 110 unleaded race fuel Dave Henninger said it was nicest lt1 camaro that he had ever tuned

thanks to Donnie Walsh Jr. For allowing Dave to come down to his shop to do the tuning, with very short notice, great bunch of guys at the shop there!

thanks to Brian Harshaw (Harshaw Racing Engines) for putting the motor together! shows you what a small town builder can do! i am up almost 37 rwhp, and 38 lb.ft tq from last year! i know tuning is a big part of it, but all the little things added up! Thanks Brian! alot of thinga were taken care of while the motor was apart and being reassembled, imo as well as his. i would recommend him to anyone! no not a selling point just a fact!

rob and i did the port mod on my new lt4 intake, and porperly port matched the heads and intake along with the PROPER F'n roller rockers for the cam that was stuffed into the motor last year. the geometry was incorrect as measured by Brian, and I even verified that i wasn't getting the proper lift! oh well, no longer is that an issue

thanks for coming out Roman, heel i owe you a Wendy's dinner

for the doubters...it was a dynojet 248-a....does that sound right? or was it c, ah who cares. 10's here i come

well i better get to bed, gotta drive to toronto very very early!

yeah i know i posted this in the mi. section as well, lol! doh! you know you are tired when you can't even concentrate on correctly inserting the dyno results, lol!!!

Very impressive results!

Can you list your basic combination? Where was peak power? (I'll guess 6,500)

yes around the 6500 mark, still making very good power at 6800 though. 399ci stroker, solid roller, afr heads, lt4 intake, 11:1 compression, nitrous cam, on pump gas with a little bit of 99 octane in it to help prevent detonation as i still am getting a bit of blow by, the rings in the motor are meant for nitrous, and they are also gapped as such. threw on a gen6 dfi this year as well.

thanks again Joe!

That's just outstanding. Congrats on the nice setup. Now just get it out there and demolish the track with it.
