Dyno results - 383 stroker
I finally got the dyno results from my 383, built this year by Paul Thompson, SloRVette. This is from the initial tune, and there's some knock retard going on on this pull, so probably we can get a few more ponies out of the build if we do some more tuning.
The baseline (in red) was made many years ago when the car was a stock LT1, and it pulled 255 RWHP and 290 RWTQ. After the build (shown in blue), it pulls 395 RWHP and 356 RWTQ. Amazingly, the horsepower was still strongly increasing when I got out of it, not wanting to toast the engine. Another half second in the pull and I would easily have reached 400 RWHP.
For details on the build and the track numbers, see .sig.

Thanks. It's all about the tires. I use Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials and give 'em a good burnout. Without enough burnout, I get wheelspin and short times in the 1.7 - 1.8 range. With a good burnout, I consistently get short times in the 1.5 - 1.6 range.
