I'm not sure what to think about dyno numbers. Livernois did my install and it is their cam and car made 442 on a dynojet. I added a catback and had Mike add a ported TB and retune and it only showed 427 on his dyno. They both used same brand dyno but that doesn't mean they are the same but I would think close. It was 100* when mike dynoed it and was probably 65* at livernois but I think they were corrected #'s. The car feels at least as fast if not faster than before but that lower number always has me wondering if there is more in it.

I've only had it at the track twice and it was 90*+ both times and it run 12.15 @114.5 on DR's. I have since then raised my stall speed from 3000 up to 3700 and the car feels way faster on the launch but that may be just me.
I probably can't say for sure on the 3-4 shift at this point - I was nervous when I went down the track for my first time and don't remember everything lol. As far as the dyno, after talking to Shawn & Nick I learned a few things that could create different numbers between Mike & them. Correction factors used, running a fan across the top of the motor, having a fan pointed in the direction of an washer bottle relo/air scoop if you have one, and turning the safeties off (while dynoing) to achieve the highest number. And no I don't know what the "safeties" are lol!

Thanks Nick - it is a lot of work to clean up that clutter, but it's worth it in the end. Although I still have some people that think the Pace Car comes that way Hopefully next year I will look at DR's - I blew my wad big time on the LS3 Conv this year and wife has me on "lockdown" !
