Had Dyno Tune This Weekend
I had a very good day at Pro Dyno Tech in Thorntown, Indiana..
This is on my 94 LT1, auto.
I installed some bolt-ons, (shortie headers, 1.6 rr, LT4 springs, Ram-Air intake and removed MAF air screen), and switched gears, (D36-3.07 to D44-3.45).
Got the full tune. The car runs and shifts so much better now. Speedo is correct again, too.
Test and tune were performed on a DYNOmite dynomometer. Numbers are at the rear wheels.
Baseline run was 230.8hp @ 5400rpm and 283.7 tq. @3700rpm.
After tune was 279.7hp @ 5500 and 314.7tq @ 4200rpm.
An increase of 48.9 hp and 31 lb of tq.
This should be enough to get me into the 12s. We'll find out soon.
Lots of impressive numbers lead by a blue Z06 for the LSXs and jonnymac's 95 for the LTXs. (I don't have anyone else's numbers, but please chime in with them)
Thanks Bob, (travelingypsye) for putting it together and to Priscila and Ron for all of their hard work.

Yeah, Me too. Especially since they did my car 2 years ago when it was all stock and it had 270 hp and 301 tq. 
It has almost 112,000 miles on it.
They moved the facility from another town and probably recalibrated the dyno. (Maybe to match the Mustang units.)
But the before and after were done all at one session.

My base on my '96 was 269 and 282 torque
After LT's and a mail order tune it was 288 and 297 torque
I'm in the middle of doing 1.6 RR and LT4 springs now. Hope to get another 12-15 out of them.
I run 13.2 @ 101.00 all day long at the track
Those are some mighty impressive numbers from your mods.
