First time back for a dyno pull since 4/22/2016. The car 509 hp and 447 torque that day.at that Time I was running a 3.42 gear. Since then i have installed a 4.10 gear and mantic 9000 dual disc. I would like to shout out to Bobby Aker and Phil Smith aka blue cat he tuned my car the first time I have yet to have the first hiccup after 25,000 miles. Ls 2 with ls 3 heads the dyno has been changed out since last time I been there.anyway here the dyno graph
Nice.
So on motor alone it made 509whp previously with the 3.42s and 493whp with the 4.10s? That’s to be expected, since the higher (numerical) gear always loses a bit of power on a dyno. That alone should tell folks that dyno numbers can’t and shouldn’t be used as a “dick measuring” exercise...
What is very instructive is that fat torque curve, with the consequent ton of mid range hp which “peaks” at ~5000rpm, then dips a bit around 5500, but basically flat lines all the way past 6500, whilst picking over 200 ft. lbs. of peak torque. That’s how nitrous works.
All you need is some good drag tires in the back and some good D/A shocks to control the rear suspension, and you’re going to see some impressive numbers.
You certainly have one of the best tuners already. Bluecat is like a legend to me.
BTW: What kind of kit do you have, and how is it set up? How are you controlling it and what are you using for fueling? Enquiring minds want to know...
Sammy first let me say that we are lucky to have a great tuner in our area.Anyway this a conservative tune with 8 degrees of timing pulled.if there’s is such a thing on nitrous? Anyway I’m running 15”conversion with Viking shocks DA front and rear with MT stiff walls 28 high. I took the car to Clay City for the first time this year the best i could do was 1.614/60 foot@123.36 N/A needed a driver mod.Far as the nitrous goes my setup is.

i think we all need thank Mr Chevrolet for building a great engine it sure put a simile on my face

I finally got a chance to make a few street pulls today.i have to say I’m quite impressed with the 150 shot now I can go to the track drive like sh.? and still run a 135 mph in a quarter. Pull all my plugs today and they look good.as soon as it warm up we will be at the track finding out what we got.
