I hear ya. I was actually thinking it was a bit low myself when we finished the build, but I'm super satisfied! It's freakin fast! I think it also depends on the dyno too. It was on a Dynojet dyno, not a mustang pull. That typically renders lower numbers. There's a dyno guy in town who's known for crazy high numbers; I should take it over there and see what it puts down HAHA!!
Dynojet's usually read higher than Mustang Dynos.. Did you mean it WAS on a mustang dyno and NOT a dynojet?
Arent the auto 2010s dogs with out a tune or something? i remember hearing their not as fast as the 6 speeds. Not taking anything away from your kill, Im sure that magna cleared up any differences in the trans

Car was tuned. There are additional tweaks you can do to the paddleshifts to make it not so much of a dog...
I was a bit concerned about being able to hang, but it turned out to be all in the traction. Drag radials are going on the SS this week. Will probably be a whole nuther ballgame then. Plus, my TA is a lot lighter, so weight was a factor there...
500+ pounds lighter is equivelant to 50+rwhp! And your gears really helped, too. Nice kill and nicely edited video!

Sounds about right for a LS1 build. ?? My experience with ported 243 heads, Fast intake, etc. on a LS1 GTO nets 420rwhp with a 238/242 duration cam. Granted ported 243 heads arent THE BEST, but not many are flowing better.

GTO's are independent suspension in the rear so that has to take away some power. It all depends on your set up but most HCI cars I see get about 440whp.

Yeah, it was all in the weight difference, and traction of course. 2nd person did add to the weight as well. Head to head it was close.
Thanks for the props on compiling the footage
Good kills! You know the new Camaro is a fat pig when it can't even beat a car making 80 less rwhp. (referring to the last race where it had traction)

The numbers don't really suprise me. I haven't heard many good things about the Dart heads and the cam is an unknown. That being said, it looks like you have a stout setup there! Great build video!
