first trip to the dyno

[SSwt00SS]

good numbers, and sounds like you have a nice baseline for which to start with. sorry to hear about the GFX...

get yourself a DD and save the wear and tear on the Camaro...

No problem, glad it has worked out for you. Shame I missed getting to see your dyno in person I was just there yesterday morning to have my torque arm relocated since it would have been to much of a pain to do on the ground.

you're welcome...

i trust those guys. with all the work and tuning they have helped me with along the way, the car doesn't leak a drop of anything, and runs strong as can.

im looking forward to getting the car retuned after installing all my goodies next week!!!

well ijust got back from RPM and yall were right the guys there were really friendly,knowledgable and basically pretty damn kewl.I was surprised to see that i had 297.2 rwhp and 310 rwtq considering the advertised 310 hp @ the crank and figuring the 20% parasitic loss i was expecting around 248 rwhp.On a sour note this morning on my way to work i took the back roads cause 635 was a parking lot and hit about 1 1/2 foot of water at 40mph and knocked the passenger front ground effect off the bumper, well almost off, it held on by the front clip and i unknowingly drug it the rest of the way to work and scratched the shit out of it.It's only like two feet long and they wanted 800.00 to fix it.found a place to resurface it and BOLT it on for 409.00.sorry but i had to whine

My 2002 went 306rwhp/323rwt on a DynoJet before any mods with 29,xxx on it. What kind of Dyno did they have?

I second the "get a DD" crowd. That's what I did + the more you mod the more you want to hammer it the more you want to mod and so on...... Having a 2nd car makes sense to me.

the air box i did my self .the way it was it had a small slit in the rear of the box so it could draw in air from the engine side wich to me seemed like you wouldnt want the warmer air so i closed it off and opened the front up a little.its a flowmwaster cat back.i know they suck but i love the sound its not too loud and sounds good

this may have already been said but HPP in Lewisville (Texas) is pretty good.

its a dynojet.ive got two more years before the car is paid off then ill get a second.im finding it difficult to mod the car and not get divorced.seems to be a fine line.

this is true. but they seem to handle more of the mustang and viper crowd. not that that's a bad thing. the two shops are only about 3-4 miles apart if even that far...

yea they do tune a lot of mustangs but they do a good job on ls1's too.

I personally like having mine as a DD, though it can be frustrating at times when something happens.

I can understand about the modding, no wife, but it has taken a while for me to get ready to order the 9" along with all the other stuff that is going in at the same time.

yeah thats what really sucks is that this is my 6th fbody(my first 4th gen)and i cant imagine owning/driving anything but a fbody.they told me at rpm that the exhaust,tune and a couple of other things that i could expect 50+ rwhp.could i feel that in my assometer?

LS1's in a f-bod are underrated from the factory...they're actually around 350bhp bone stock.

Yeah, without a doubt you'll feel it alright. CAI + LT's and a tune put me at 343rwhp/357rwt. I've since done true duals dumped at the axle and it's currently getting a new posi for the 3.73's and a 3400 stall.
