Not trying to hijack this post 
But now that we have a bunch of people with knowledge together, can you please have a look at my dyno run, also with a 2005 LS2 engine and some mods. I do make more than 400 RWHP.
I would love to hear your opinions about how my car is doing.

No, it was not james.. I don't want to say who since i am actually a bit dissatisfyed with him currently and do not want to badmouth anyone. It is right on the limit i will say that.. the a/f is fine but it is running A LOT of timing, i'm debating on getting him to pull a few degrees but idk yet i am addicted to the power..

I still have a stock/factory valve springs as I am still a stock internals/bolt ons only car and it's customary/assumed that any car being classified/categorized as such will have never had it's valve covers (or timing cover or rear main cover) off of the car. 
Changing springs would certainly help with valvetrain stability and maybe even help make some more power but the car would unfortunately then also fall under the 'internal mods' sections of any recognized 'fast lists'.

Well i'm glad i don't have your car... like i said don't count on that being an accurate representation of the car.. were you having to lift your clutch pedal off of the floor on those passes too?

that someone thought he'd make on another dyno LOL) out on the track. So most realize that there is really very little to doubt unless Gary has internal mods that he's not divulging...but I know him pretty well, he simply doesn't roll that way. 
137+mph
....time slips don't lie.

One big difference...Gary's car backs up the dyno numbers (whether they be the 520rwhp he generated on one dyno or the estimated 550rwhp that someone thought he'd make on another dyno LOL) out on the track. So most realize that there is really very little to doubt unless Gary has internal mods that he's not divulging...but I know him pretty well, he simply doesn't roll that way.

And honestly, I believe that anything is possible hence my 'track results prediction' a few pages back. With 430rwhp/415rwtq this car should FLY. But if it goes out and runs a high 11 at 120mph on a tire with a new clutch in fall/winter air then it is going to become a lot more difficult to explain (ie: believe) the dyno numbers, no?
Simply waiting on track times at this point.

Wow Though this thread was done. Discussing dyno sheets and trying to pick them apart you guys will be typing until hell freezes over.
It is about time the OP fix his clutch and take a few runs down the 1/4 mile, BTW it might be a good idea to weigh the car too.
With regard to bolt on cars that go fast......there are many little things that make one car a bit faster than another..... it is all in the details does anyone keep a log book
another example: how many guys index their plugs.

Mr. SpecialSause, you said it yourself the dyno results were uncorrected, so how/why are you so adamantly defending that the car makes the power it does when, by your own admission, there isn't accurate data to compare? (although comparing dynos is pretty futile anyway)
Why so secretive about the timing? Also, which type/size headers do you have? Where do you have the cutouts mounted? What brand flywheel and do you know how much lighter than stock it is? Perhaps this info could help give us some insight why your car makes the power it does. Like many things, it's the details that can make the difference. So help us out here.
