I think the 2-1/2" exhaust and the 9 inch are hurting his HP a bit. He needs the 9 inch, but maybe we can talk him into a better exhaust.

OH MY GOD! 
That's totally INSANE!
Pete still has these rusty old headers that are dented and shortened with no real collector on them, 2.5" exhaust with full mufflers and a bone stock MAF...just speculative of course but could those few changes (and/or a new FAST intake) possibly yield him the ever elusive 500rwhp from an NA 346?
Awesome results guys.

WOW, that is amazing........
That HP curve looks like one of Cedar Points roller coaster hills, it just keeps climbing and fast.
It's still amazing on how you guys keep getting more and more out of a 346.
When I get my 409 stroker done next year, maybe 550-575 HP won't be hard to reach if I get the right parts...

Damn!!!!!!!!!!! If Pete has the ***** to drive the living **** outta the car and the track condition/weather are good, I predict a 10.4x @ 132.mph.
Way to go Cartek, as usual on the cutting edge of LS1 technology. I'm proud to be one of your customers!

I think they should do it just to get the number. Although area under the curve is better, the stroker boys have some work to do! Wow.
