Going to the dyno shop...
Getting my vette dynoed on Monday for the first time. With what I have done in my sig, and with everything working properly. Any ideas where I might be at HP and torque wise? I am hoping to be atleast at 245 HP and 340 torque.

I'd like to dyno my new setup also. Where is the dyno you are going to? I haven't really looked for one. How much they charging you and for how long?

Re: Going to the dyno shop... (89 Paul in cal)
The name of the place is actually called "The Dyno Shop," I guess the owners aren't very creative. :jester They are charging $69, or you can rent per hour for $225. The place is located in San Diego county. When I asked if they have a lot of vettes coming in there they said yes, and there is actually a club having a dyno day there next week. That made me more comfortable about going there.

I could have sworn that the early L-98's have 230hp and 333 torque stock. Do they mean at the flywheel? Or do they mean at the wheel?

$225 an hour is nuts! My buddy dyno-tuned his truck to the price of $80 an hour.
As for hp, my guess is 221 hp 307 tq.
Have fun. :)
