Dyno Results are in!!
Finally had my car dyno-tuned yesterday and I couldn't be any happier. This whole time I just been driving around town, I had a bad ignition coil so was only on 7 cylinders. My tuner fixed every things and worked his magic. This car is a totally different animal now on the street
It made 419rwhp/398rwtq.

Re: Dyno Results are in!!
It's the Torquer 2 cam. Everything else stock with the expect of all the bolt-ons
Yeah that 10 bolt is going to take a beating lol. I talked to my tuner and said he can set me up with a Ford 8.8 rear for a good price, so that may be my next step.

Re: Dyno Results are in!!
Thanks guys. Yeah I'm happy with the numbers for such a mild cam. It is totally wicked on the street. I might want to get some 4.10's down the road to make it a little funner lol

Re: Dyno Results are in!!
It's the stock 10 bolt. But I replaced the diff with a Zexel Torsen one from a WS6 and put motive 3.73 gears in. So far, no problems *knock on wood*

Re: Dyno Results are in!!
As said, that poor 10 bolt!
And those are very nice numbers. Looks like i may be getting a v2!
How do you like the driveability of the cam?

Re: Dyno Results are in!!
I had a very hard time deciding between the v2 vs the 228r cam for my lq4.Mine is alot of fun and I doubt its even close to making 360rwhp compared to you bolton ls1.My 10 bolt is happy right now that I dont have sticky tire to shock it and break it..for now.How much power did you pick up from baseline pull to a tuned pull?
My only future mods to from here would be longtubes,and some head work and that should bring me over 400rwhp.Get some more vids of that bad boy going down the road/track

Re: Dyno Results are in!!
First off, I was driving there with a bad ignition coil, so only on 7 cylinders which "kinda" still felt like it had some power
My tuner found that issue and fixed it, now I know the car was running rich but it was just dumping fuel! It wasn't getting any leaner then 12.5 a/f which was awful. Once he dialed in the a/f to where it should be it jumped to about 396rwhp. He then did a few more tweaking and gave it some more timing and sure enough gained more from that.
So when I took it off the dyno and went for a test drive, I was like holy **** this is a whole new car!!! lol

Re: Dyno Results are in!!
The drivability is awesome. It bucks a little in low gear under 1500rpms or so, but I think its cause of the Monster stage 3 clutch and stuff.
When he did a baseline pull I was only at 363rwhp. The mail-order tune that was on it before was crap and had a 12.0 a/f most of the time.

who did your mail order tune? i figure i've got about 30hp left in the dyno tune, but maybe i'll get more out of it if we used the same mail order tuner.

Re: Dyno Results are in!!
My brothers 98 ls1 motor put down 360rwhp with an ls6 intake and long tubes, and a tune, through an a4 with 4000 stall unlocked.
That's my exact combo, with the exception of a t56 and the gears have been changed from 3.27 to 3.70 since my tune and I'm nowhere near that.

Re: Dyno Results are in!!
i've got the monster level 3 also...its in or out, there is no slipping that clutch. i called the guys at monster and they said there is no "normal" break in procedure for the 3, just take it out and beat on it if its doing that. after some "town" driving in bumper to bumper traffic i generally have to take mine out and beat it like it owes me money, and it has roughly 1000 miles on it.
who did your mail order tune? i figure i've got about 30hp left in the dyno tune, but maybe i'll get more out of it if we used the same mail order tuner.

I had Mark Romans do the mail order tune. He was kinda a local guy (2hrs away) so I sent it to him. If I had to do it over, I should of saved that $125 I paid him and put it toward the dyne-tune.

Before when I had my 383 motor, that diff was taking a beating and always hanged. It was always the gears or axles that I was breaking

Re: Dyno Results are in!!
Theres just no possible way a completely stock LS1 w/ every bolt-on and free mod can put down 360rwhp thru an unlocked stalled auto, LMFAO. I'd ask for a refund from the dyno-shop where that was done.
I've seen 340+rwhp with full bolt-ons, tune and with a 6-speed. But an unlocked auto? No way. There's more done to that engine then meets the eye, probably before your brother got it.

Re: Dyno Results are in!!
It's possible since the motor and Trans came from the junkyard.
It was from a 98 with unknown miles, sold as a stock engine.
My brother just dropped the drivetrain in the car, swapped the intake, and put the headers on.
I'll ask him about the stall since now that I think about it, it might have had the stock converter when he dyno'd it.
