Got it Dynoed Today
Not a tune, just 3 dyno runs at the open house/grand opening of a local performance shop. It was done on a dynojet dyno with ambient temperature about 60*F. It ran consisent 332hp and 318 torque. The shop owner didn't know how to release the parking brake and smoked the rear brakes a bit before he realized it, otherwise it went pretty well. Mostly new Camaros there with a few C6s and lonely me with my hi mileage C4.

I'd say that's damn respectable with an auto trans, you've got to be happy with that. Swinging in that LT4 was well worth it.
What were the Camaros laying down?

Yep, using the 80% formula that is about 415 at the crank. Most of the Camaros were modded and putting down hi 300 numbers. A mostly stock '08 C6 put donw numbers almost identical to mine.

Rear wheel is all that matters. I believe Lingenfelter uses 85% for a stick. But, whatever! That's a pretty stout LT4. What are the mods, may I ask?

Thanks, the calculator spit out 412hp, so darn close there. Mods are the hotcam kit, melrose longtube headers, cats deleted and 3" exhaust front to back with an H pipe, breathing in thru an SLP Claw. Seems like I am forgetting something else, will add it if I think of it.
Thanks for the kind words guys.

That is sure true. Thanks for the kind words everyone, I am pleased with the results. Spending some money now on HPS pads all around and a pair of Nitto 555s for the back. Not many choices in 315/35/17, but the Sumos that are on there now spin way too easy.

So I drive it on their dyno.
I think its because if the engine 'blows' on the dyno then they want 0 responsibility.
This is different than other dynos Ive been to (before this shop opened up).

The shop owner just sent me a picture of them getting ready to dyno my car so I edited my original post and added the picture. I am by the left front in the yellow hat.
