$450.00 for a tune. 500 to 550 with 14 psi is probably real close to what you will see. You'll have a quick LT1. Check out our '95 Formula in my project car section of my website. It runs 11.32 at 118 mph with very little power. Bob

You mean to tell me a 383 w/ heads, LT, decent cam 230/240 range will only put down around 500-550 to the wheel w/ 14 psi?! So how much is needed for 700-800rwhp then? Are his injectors a factor with the number you've suggested?

I'm thinking 383 w/ 14 psi should at least be hitting 600rwhp but I'm not S/C guru either but I'm seeing 355's put down that much w/ 8 psi. :dontknow:

Keep in mind that I have a Mustang Chassis dyno that uses eddy current, which puts a load equal to the road on the rollers. This gives you a 40 to 50 rwhp lower rwhp than a non eddy current dyno, such as the Dynojet.

The heads on the LT1 engine are the main limiting factor. If a set of AFR heads were used, horsepower would indeed go up. Bob

42lb injectors work on my Mustang Chassis Dyno up to the 550 rwhp mark, it will be close indeed on his car to 100%. Bob

Thanks for clearing that up Bob. 60lb injectors should be the minimum I'd think. 600-650rwhp in your opinion can't be obtain w/ LT1 castings? That sucks if that's the case cause I'm hoping to get in that range w/ my ported heads. Flow close to 280/195 w/ those puppies too.

Do you sell the SCDE setup for the 8 rib pulley system for the LT1's? All I read about is this setup but on LS1's. Thanks!
