you should trap around 105-106. E.T. would depend on traction. maybe low 13s?

Yeah lean it out to about 13:1 and you will see 10-15 rwhp.... Still pretty good numbers though. Looks like the 1.6rr's pushed ya over the edge
Great numbers!

I dont plan on porting the heads and installing a cam until I need a reason to have to tear the engine down. It is has reached my expectations already at this point and I am verry happy with the way it runs.
So if the opti goes or somthing starts leaking bad then I plan on at least going LE2 port job and LE1 cam. I dont want to rev the engine to 6.5K (LE2 cam) because I prefer to have engine longevity and still decent gas mileage.
The car currently launches pretty good on these street tires, the big thing hurting 1/4 mile times will be my weight since I have the heavy vert and some hi-fi in the trunk. I might be able to throw some drag slicks on and sneak a few runs past the 10-bolt rearend.
If I can hit some mid 13's on street tires and some low 13's on drag slicks I will be very pleased. The current goal was to be able to evenly compete with a stock LS1 and maybe wack a few in the process. It appears that this has been accomplished.
Plus needless to say if this engine did get heads and cam it would be a beast.
Re: My LT1 dyno results...Not too shabby, I think.
The Superflow dyno can be operated in a couple of different modes, if I recall the info from an article in Hot Rod magazine about 1.5 years ago. One of the modes is basically a Dynojet inertia emulation, and produces similar results. It can also run in Eddy-current mode, similar to a Mustang. You need to ask the dyno shop what program they used.
"STP" is standard conditions (29.92"Hg, 59degF, 0% RH), which produce a shade more HP than "SAE" conditions (29.235"Hg, 77degF, 0% RH). Not unusual to see.
I would have expected a bit more gain in leaning out from 11.8:1, but I'm not going to argue with the programmer.... he knows what he put into the program and why he did it.

Based on that logic a 3.42 would have less loss than 4.10.
I think I will differ here.

Maybe someone can educate me on what all the numbers reall say.
It was my understanding that these were corrected numbers for temps, pressures & altitude.

such as SAE, STD, and STP. The closest simple comparison I have come up
with is that SAE numbers are about 4% lower that STD/STP numbers. STD and
STP are the same correction factor.
My first pre baby cam dyno runs were done on a Superflo dyno with STD correction
and I was at 310 rwhp (297.6 SAE). Just reduce your numbers by 4% for SAE.

I though as the A/F number dropped the car was running more rich.
Someone please explain this to me.



Smooth curve as well.. If your happy that's all that count's..
