does anybody think the 700 was slipping hehehehe
the car went a 11.0 at 125 with that slipping trans cant wait to see what will happens with the 4l80e in it

Awesome numbers! One question though.....why does the power only last a very short period of time? I see you have a 2800 stall converter, if you put a bigger converter in there you would be in a lot better shape for racing, since your peak torque is way up there......must be the long tube runners causing the short power band......
I would put a SR on that critter and make a more broad power band that would really crank.
Awesome work though.....and great numbers. :cheers: :cheers:

My god you're making that much power and you're not even spinning 5200 rpms. That is just plain awesome! I'm left to wonder how much it would make if you had something like a mini ram on there, a nice short runner design that's made for top end power. I'd bet you'd see 700 hp.
Unreal, and no I will NOT race you. :cheers:

With that HP I'd expect you should run between 133 and 135.
Boost levels were the same between the 2 different pulls ?
Couple of wierd things that I noticed. The intersection of the HP and torque curves are low. Was the boost staying constant ? Also did you roll into the throttle going to WOT or did you mash it.

Re: New dyno #'s with 4l80e (SloRvette)
yes the boost level stay around 18-19psi
we had the converter locked in 3rd gear and hit it at a low rpm, so instead of the converter coming up to 28-3000 it lugged a little
if the car will go to the track run some 10's and drive home that is all we ask
because the power this car makes is how ex-gold87 drives it gets a 3/4 tank of 93 and then a 5 gallon can of 100 we show up to the track put the drag radials tire pressure on 12 and run, without changing anything

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I have some pictures of the install and will try to get Meach13 to put them on the web site soon.
The install is really not that bad, just have to make an adapter for the tail shaft that bolts on the torque arm. The driveshaft has to be about 2 inchs shorter and the torque arm has to be cut.
We cant wait to go to the track..... :smash: :smash: :smash:
