Drove up to Knoxville this AM to meet up with the Smokey Mountain Cruisers at Air Cooled Classics for a tune and 3 dyno pulls. Bob "Violater" Moss, https://home.comcast.net/~dragonbreathe/

My car at the time had 59978 milres and just a Z06 airbox with K&N filter and the Borlas..After watching Bob and Tiffany work the dyno , my turn came right after a series of rainstorms passed thru town. 1st run (baseline) was 305.9 HP/321.4 Torque.. Bob then did the edit and the last pull was 305.8 HP/358.8 torque!!!
Needless to say, I was .

Your horsepower went down yet your torque went up?

Congrats on the new found "oomph"!
BTW, is Bob related to another very very well known Moss?

Hey Mike, Bob did an LS1 Edit on my 'Vert at the Cruise-In and all I can say is WOW!

Just the difference in the shift points and yes, I can feel more bottom end on acceleration. It must be the torque increase.

I'll be passing through Knoxville after Corvettes at Carlisle on my way to the Labor Day bash and will be stopping at Dragon's Breath for a follow up tune

Then off to Deal's Gap for another run on the Dragon

I don't think CathDoc will want to ride in the passenger seat with me this year.........

Pretty common on these cars. Mine dynoed at 328 rwhp 333 rwt. This was with an air temp of about 85 degrees and humidity close to 80% ( right before a rain storm just guessing on the humidity).
High torgue numbers are good that is what gives you the grunt!
