DaveL said:Well this isn't my original motor. Blew the old one last year with 100k and got a used motor put in because I was going to sell it but had a change of heart. I only dynoed 202.8 hp and 253.4 torque which is why I am disappointed. The shop said the C&L meter, TB and Edelbrock intake really leaned out my car. So after some tuning those were the result.
On my original motor when it had 75k it dynoed 226.8 hp and 297.3 torque. The mods on that motor then was a MAC cold air intake, MAC shortie headers, MAC ProChamber, 2 chamber Flowmasters and 3.73 gears. Some people here said there was no way I could make that kind of power with the mods I had. So I don't know what the heck is going on. Any ideas on what I can do to get the hp numbers up or is the motor that weak?
