I've done that before and it got me in big trouble. I'm 30 now and I've barely recovered from my spending habits from my early 20's. Now i pay cash, if I don't have the cash then I can't afford it.

Well the car is only 4 months old (to me) it was bone stock when I got it and my mods are done as money comes in. I'm a blue collar worker and have to sacrifice a lot to make ends meet while trying to build a fast car. I would like to upgrade the clutch and rear but haven't got to that point yet. If you have any advice or can help as you suggested I'm all ears. Thanks!

Its not far from what Ls2's do. I wasnt doubting. its just not typical. Your spike at 4600 is from not having it smoothed to '5'. Also most dynos posted report SAE numbers not STD as your pull was in. Im not sure how that affects things but it could explain why the numbers are unusual.
Good luck with the mods.

Originally the smoothing was set at 5 and it yielded 398rwhp, I wanted to see 400rwhp so I had them set it at 0.

So with 102 in cooler weather what you think you may dyno? My stock clutch never went out. I just replaced it before it needed it bc I don't have a spare car. My vette is my dd.

apply the gain in HP/TQ that I got in 99 Degree weather. Logically it should reward me with with the same Hp at 56 Degrees + the Gain. I will never Dyno A car in 99 degree weather Again. It's Stupid.
