Dynoed and ready now
Got my baby back from the Dyno man today.
Far out it is a different car.
I had never had it tuned and apparently it was a bit of a mess.
Leaning out big time - no wonder there was a lot of heat under the hood :-)
(Also as my LS1 came out of an SS Ute, they turn on some Tourque limiting feature, thats gone now :-) )
Went from a poultry 180RWKW to 225. That from a stock LS1 without any cam, heads, intake, mods etc.
Tourque is much better also.
Roll on Nationals.
cheers Gregg

Ah the magic of a tune!
It will feel like a brand new car. I had my Commodore done after an exhaust upgrade and got 232RWKW. Better low down pull and fuel economy...

Hi Stiffy
After clean up
Plan B. Got the old motor back in the car and dynoed yesterday no good standard 260 boss cams chocked the stack injection
Plan C. Installed a set of Herrod cams today and dynoed made 30KW more with filters on not a bad gain with just cams. Back on track for the nationals.

305 HP nice ! I'm an old fart (according to the youth) 54.. but one thing I can't relate to is kilowatts in engines. Although where I work we produce megawatts in electricity. But engines in horseless carriages was compared to the horses they replaced...305 horses pulling a cart is an impressive sight. 225 kw pulling a cart ? I can't even imagine it.
The young blokes at work ask about power in cars and when I say. say 500 HP they look at me blank ( 500 is pretty impressive in my book) so I say 367 kw they say WOW. I think 500 sounds better than 367.....I'm an old fart ! ha ha ha

Rob, I agree with your rhetoric, but who measures the horses' power?
I mean how many Black Caviars are required to make 305 horses? 200 or 201?

Get that "sandal-wearing, muesli-chewing, bike-riding" milk out of that block ASAP.

Hey Andy, I liked your lap, plently of tyre sqealing and a few hairy moments. I was looking at some old lap times on last years event on the NSW club site and I notice you pipped the Bunnings car in a couple of events. Looking forward to seeing how the Cement truck goes against the Bunnings car this year. Cheers Gregg

Yep, hard to believe isn't it?
Andy was having a hard time last year Greg, with the total loss of his breeding stock of gerbils with the flea plague of 2011, I felt it proper to let him win at a couple of things.
