    Dyno tune next week. What should I expect?

    My dyno tune is scheduled for next week (June 13th). I wanted to get a few opinions on what kind of power my car might make. My mods are: Novi 1k @ 9 psi, NO FMU, 36#'ers, 255 in-tank, 76mm MAF, BBK unequal shorties, Dynomax catted h-pipe, Dynomax mufflers. The tuner is shooting for an a/f ratio of 11.7:1-12:1.

    Do you think I'll be close to 300 rwhp? How much are my stock throttle body and intake holding me back?

    I feel like it's Christmas in a week. I'm so excited! I can't wait!

    Edit: I'll be pleased if I see over 280 rwhp.

    Dan, I think that 300 rwhp is very do-able with your combo. Please post your final #'s when ya get it knocked out!!

    I had a mishap on the dyno last week, but on my initial pull, I was got 288rwhp @ 4600 rpm(that was all I ended up revving it to) and 321ft-lbs of torque.

    Combo:
    Novi 2k @ 9lbs
    50lb'ers(Air/fuel ratio was 9:1 or richer from 3200 on up)
    70 mm t-body
    Holley Systemax II intake
    75mm Pro M
    Shorty headers
    Catted H(this was my mishap...I blew a cat)
    Good ol' 2ch Flows
    And some other stuff

    So with a smaller blower at the same boost level and similar mods...I think you'll see 300rwhp without a problem

    I will agree that you will make 300. are you doing it with a chip, or is your tuner just going to do the best he can to get you close?

    He's going to get it as sharp as he can WITHOUT a chip. If I want, I can have him burn a chip on top of the tune. I'll be watching him while he works his magic. If there is some power left on the table, I might have him burn a chip for me.

    I'll be giddy like a little girl if I see 300 rwhp.
