Another question, I see the throttle body is not stock on the engine dyno. Would that affect the numbers? Are you going to do a chassis dyno with it installed in the donor Camaro?
Exactly. I bet most guys would be shocked to learn that a stock LS3 will be well above 426 flywheel hp. As for the throttle body not being stock, they probably had to run a cable operated setup while in the dyno cell.
