Ok, I know it probably gets boring reading some of the "low" #s that I'm posting, but I wanted to see what you guys think about them...and how my future plans might affect the #s.
Went to Real Performance Motorsports (RPM) which is owned and operated by a good friend of mine, Keith Lohse. When he dyno'd it, he waited a bit long to nail it, so the pulls didn't start til 3700rpm. I know he was thinking it would downshift if he hit it any earlier. So, I believe my posted RWTQ is low (after all it made peak TQ at 3700). :lol: Don't these things typically make peak TQ ~3400 or so?
Anyway, it dyno'd at 376rwhp/440rwtq. Here are my mods: 2psi pulley, REM air intake, Magnaflow cat-back, SCT 9100 (93 octane program). The truck also only has 3400 miles on it, so I think it will make more once its really broken in a bit more. Maybe not. Anyway, I'm pleased with this considering I had the same mods on my '99 and it made 363rwhp. Again, I do believe if he'd started the pull a bit lower in the rev range, it would have shown more TQ... like 450 or so. What do you think?
Also, what do you guys see as far as gains on the 100 octane race programs you run... for a mildly modded truck like mine? Maybe an extra 8-10rwhp?
Here is what I'm thinking about mod-wise. Apten ported blower. Hopefully this would get me to ~395rwhp without a pulley swap. Then consider adding a 4lb pulley which would get me to ~405+. I like the look of the C&L ported intake plenum too, but I am skeptical about their HP gain claims.:rolleyes:
Thoughts?
