Default paco gets detuned..dyno

it crushed me to do it but I had to swap pulleys on the procharger and have it detuned a bit. just havin too many problems with reliability n such. but she runs fine now. as a consolation prize to myself, I had my shop put in a hurst shifter while it was there.

here's the dyno. would appreciate any comments or feedback. HPP verified the tune and printed the graph (Lone Star actually did the tune). HPP said it's a little fat above 4500 rpm but that it's plenty safe.

anyway...can't wait to win the lotto so I can get those forged internals, ported heads, blower cam, and then upgrade to the D series procharger. maybe then I'll be satisfied (nah, probly not)

Must be rough to ONLY be running 440hp...I mean how on earth are you ever going to manage...I just don't know what I would do with myself if it was me that was ONLY making 440 at the wheels.....Oh yes I do, I would do a back flip.....

So....440 makes the car????.....slow?????? just curious because my endgame will put me in the 450-500 rwhp and if 440 makes it slow then I need to make sure I pad it toward the 500 range....

lol.....That means you prob have somewhere between 480-500 at the crank?

A buddy of mine has a ten year old GT with a 380wrhp 351 in it. That car absolutely screams on the street. I couldnt imagine sitting the passenger seat of yours.
