Tuned and dyno'd, the results are...
 

SAE: 498rwhp and 470rwtq
STD: 509rwhp and 480rwtq

I took the day off and took the car to HiTechMotorsport and had it tuned on a chassis dyno. The baseline pull with the stock LS7 tune put down SAE 468rwhp and 436rwtq. After some tuning, it made SAE 498rwhp and 470rwtq... and that's with no cool down. Casey and I took it out for a drive after the tune and it's amazing. It pulls hard from the bottom and never stops pulling (until I hit the 7100 rev limiter). Not bad for a baby cam: 220 / 244 @ .050, .615 / .648 lift, 110 LSA.

I'm extremely impressed with HiTech Motorsport. It was obvious by the facility that they take a lot of pride in workmanship. They gave me the full tour and they have some really cool projects going on.

I'm stoked, my goal was 500rwhp.

:woot:

Nice #s; that torque curve should make driving very very fun!

That's impressive...!
 

Amazing how quickly it got to top RPM too..:yes:

Isn't that just the greatest feeling...?:thumbsup:

That's great my friend - Impressive numbers!
It's amazing how responsive these LS7s to a good tune.
Enjoy:thumbsup:

Thanks guys. I'm really happy with it, it's an amazing motor.

James, your Katech motor should make some serious rwhp!

Cool :thumbsup:

have them do a printout converted to std instead of sae; you'll be over 500 rwhp, and many guys use the std numbers.

Great job, gotta be a blast!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweeeeet!!! Now where's the John Force burnout:thumbsup:

I can help with that.. Here ya go

Scott, sorry we got cut off today. Amazing car, awesome numbers. The LS motors are awesome.

Cool B-Day.

Awesome, thanks Casey! And thanks for letting me be your shadow and hover while you worked (that has to be annoying, lol)

Hope you liked our test drive...

Nice Scott. Great numbers. Is the car done yet?

Thanks Mike. All that's left is the back seat needs to be recovered. It's at the upholstery shop now. Oh, and I need a new dash pad. So it's that close.

Ahhhhh, how about some new pics. Had some good light the other night...

That just looks so bad ass. You're almost done.
Ok so when are you going to tear it all down and rebuild it again? :D

As soon as the LS9 comes out as a crate motor. :rofl:

I knew it. :rofl:

You mean STP.. STD is.. well... not good.. :rofl:

We correct to STP.. only the OEMs use SAE (which is a lower number)...

So does that mean Jody has high STD numbers? Stop hanging out with Charlie. :rofl:

Congrats on the killer numbers and BAD ASS ride! You planning on taking it to the strip at all just for fun??

I get the joke, but trust me, it's std.

Jody

Thats badass Scott. Yep, props to Hitech motorsports for there tuning expertise. They have a bunch of great guys up there with tons of talent:hail:

You should have made a pull on spray but I guess I can test that out for ya next week huh:rofl:

Really an all around beautiful car Scott. Must feel good to be about done. Now you get to drive and enjoy it. Congratulations.:thumbsup:

Thanks. It's soooo close. I need a new dash pad and there's a few tiny things I need to look into, but it's 99.99% done.

400ft-lbs at 3000rpm :thumbsup:

Hey Scott,
Havent followed things on your car in a while. But what a surprise to find you have come so far in a short amount of time. Will you be making it in time for the Power Tour? If your in a race with Jody your a couple steps a head..
Are you both going? I hope you have a great time and be careful with those cars.
Beautiful job Mister!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
