Now, we're talking. Tim, man you need to fix your dyno to show the right numbers, or it will hurt your business. Trust me, many people make decision based on numbers.

I love the TQ curve. Can't wait to see this with CAI and Headers (before you put the cams on). I bet the TQ will be in mid 500.

If anyone is doing SC, this is the one. Congrats to Whipple!

Why not use a little more cam? While the LS9 is cheap and you can use the stock LS3 springs, it's really not much of an upgrade over the stock LS3 cam. Your build looks top notch to me......except for that piddly cam. A little more cam can lower your boost levels which would lower your IAT's. No need to go apeshit on the cam, but if you're changing it, you can do better.

That's next. The owner and Tim did say that, they're going with LS9 cam. Then, they need to lower the boost, because of too much power on bottom end.
BTW, did you get a Camaro for the wife yet?

Tim what is the hp at 6000rpm,looks really close to the 516 hp you made on the other dyno at 6000, you diffently turned more RPM on this pull and made the hp number higher.Way to go the extra mile great job.

Yes, nice of you to remember. Not gen. 5 though. She's the proud owner of a sweet first generation '69 SS. Red with white stripes. We discussed the pros and cons of a new one vs the classic and the classic won. I built a 406 gen I small block stroker for it and it's almost ready to the road. It won't run anywhere near as good as a supercharged gen 5 Camaro would, but she likes it and it does look really fine. If we feel the need for speed and comfort, the vette's available. You don't appreciate the differences between a new one and a 40 yr old one until you get behind the wheel.

no it was like 540 at 6000rpm

we did 518 when we ran it on the other dyno to 7000rpm

Man, excellent decision. The 69 is my favorite (pun intended)
Wow, she knows her car...

It will not corrode or pit the rotors in any way. So spray away! Remember this kit is designed for high boost applications as well. It is capable of up to 30 psi. Which is one of the main reasons I bought it. In a year or two when I have the funds Tim will be building a forged motor for me.

Thank you for getting back to my point. It's great to know about the meth on Whipple. FYI, I have used meth on my both TT and SC (Centri) cars! It keeps the detonation away, keeps your valve and pistons clean and keeps the IAT down.
