Use the same Mustang dyno as Robz and you'll be lucky to hit 425. If your on a Dynojet it could be anywhere from 445 to 480...trap speed tells the real story though. I have dynoed on two different Dynojets with a spread of 27 rwhp on motor.
I may just find a stingy mustang dyno and play every trick in the book to lower the number. Tha way when I run 10.5s with a 380rwhp dyno sheet I'll look like the greatest driver ever!!!!!

Then you would be the dude of all dudes...380 rwhp =10.5s @ 132 mph on snow tires.
my car on that mustang dyno was 387rw and ran 10.974 at atco 12/5/08 no tail wind just a cool day no snow tires
Dyno numbers are just that...numbers that relate to that particular machine. What mph did you run with that 10.974 ET and how much does your car weigh?

All thanks to Mike @ Cartek!!! Came in on Saturday and worked on the motor all day. I stayed and watched the whole assembly. Don't think I'll ever take on a project like that by myself.
PS-Found out that my "zero mile fresh ls6 with new rings and bearings" did in fact have new rings...............but used bearings.
So Rick stopped by and we got something done. Motor and clutch are in the car. We found my old save was cracked. Pics to follow but I'm guessing this was causing some problems with my shifting.
Speaking of the slave..........we found out when I ordered my clutch I got an F-body slave instead of Vette slave. So that was a mess to deal with but we got that all straightned out. Whats a car project without problems?
So as of now I got the fully asembled motor in and bolted to the TT, cradle up, rack in, and power steering stuff pretty much in. Going to leave work early tomorrow and hopefully finish up.

We don't want to hear about the Labor Pains...we just want to see the BABY !!!
OK, I’m still sore from working on my back and driving over 8 hours but it was worth it. I knew Nick had to make it to a certain dyno day so I hope you can get it done and make it Sunday! I know Nick is still trying to finish the car so I’ll post some pictures for him.
We both think the slave was for an F-body since the pressure line did not have the steel flex line. We swapped the line and made it work.
Empty engine bay…….
This is Nick’s old BROKEN slave cylinder.
The valve covers are on and the Monster Clutch installed.
The engine is close being bolted in.
Nick is working hard. The motor is bolted in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
