Son talked me into putting the '95 on a Dyno tonight. First time I've ever done this. There was a lot of imports there that put out some HUGE numbers plus a GT 500 Mustang that showed over 600 HP. I was actually surprised when everyone gathered around when they pulled my car on the rollers. Like they never saw a Vette on a Dyno before.

Here's the numbers she put out. Aside from the SLP air filters it's stock.

Nice numbers. Looks about exactly the same as mine. It looks like you started the pull at about 1800 RPM? #00 RWT at 1800 RPM? Low RPM torque monster! Good times, eh?

Yea it was a good time.

Now I have to get my '80 done and run that one. Then I can go on a quest for MORE POWER in the '95

I like seeing the torque "curve".

It is flat all the way across. That is why the LT1's are great street motors. They can pull over a large rpm band. So for most situations, several different gears will work fine and pull hard.
