DYNO TIME

91 pump gas
2wd on 26 inch rims.
Top pic is dyno of canned whipple tune vs my buddys tune from matt @gptuning. You can see nice increase of power over across entire curve.

Bottom is gptuning tune vs preblower numbers. I did have afe intake and 3.5 cat back MagnaFlow on pre blower install.

523 rwhp/540 rwtq and vs pre blower pass some parts of power band have over 170 rwhp more and 160 foot pounds torque. Next mod is ARH headers with non catted y pipe. Also it was 74 degrees in shop vs 63 degrees on pre blower dyno.

Overall very happy with the whipple numbers. Going to the track next week. I want to run 12.50s on 26" rims.

Tony...VERY impressive to see how quickly that S/C TQ curve comes on !! Couple that with 400+ RWHP from 3800 up creates a very nice power curve from bottom to top.

The fact that it's still making power past 6K is a testament to the engineering work GM put into the OEM Cam/Direct Injection system and Exhaust manifolds/CATs...headers will probably push that RWHP curve out past 6500 RPM...going to be interesting to see if you loose any bottom end.

Factoring in a 20% drive line loss you have close to 630 HP and 650 # TQ at the Flywheel !!!

It would be interesting to see what your 1/4 mile times would be with the stock rims and tires vs the 26 "...think about throwing them in the back just to make a comparison.

Enjoy !!

They have the sound flapper valve in the exhaust and i cut it out and woke up the sound a lot. Since I have 1 7/8 long tubes with not cats coming I also ordered the vibrant 17970 resonator. My plan is to put the headers on/then move the magnaflow muffler up more and put the vibrant resonator on behind it then still use the 3.5 resonator that magnaflow put on the in the rear. its only like 6 inches long and if the truck is still to loud ill add another vibrant resonator.

well time to get ready for the non catted arh headers. Picked up a vibrant 3.5" resonator. Hopefully this keeps the sound down a little
