Looks like they did use fourth gear in the video, certainly did not turn it up very much.
Heading to the DYNO

heres the dyno sheet
Greg Z said:
I was thinking somewhere you posted that it had a SCT tuner with the truck, I could be mistaken
But if it doesnt, the norm for a RC is around 420+rwhp depending on the dyno.
peak power is usually in the 550rpm range
Looks like they cut you short Greg, the dyno was still climbing and it should got to at least 5800, looks like you would have made over 400 if they would have

No, I thought the same thing so I just got off the phone with them. They assure me they ran it to redlline or real close its just something with the ignition does not give them a good RPM read. Prolly the same issue with the G-techs not working in our trucks I presume.

I don't see any glow, maybe its just the camera trying to focus or something. Which run did you see it in?
Greg Z said:
Maybe it is an issue with his dyno... If it can not get the appropriate RPM then I would wonder a little bit.
Greg if you dyno is nt reading correctly I wouldnt trust it, I think youmay be reading too much into this.
I really dont think there is a problem, if its not the clutch, you dont have a tuner and your cats are not clogged, you shouldnt have a problem.
You need a dyno reading that shows all the way up.
the easiest way to tell if you have any problem is to do a leak down test, that will tell you if you have any internal engine probs sir

Dont worry about that light...its normal
Dyno or not, your new numbers sans muffler looks ok.
Simple mods that will give you the most bang for your buck:
SCT Tuner - find someone local or a tuner that will work with you and give updated tunes specific to your truck
Drop in filter - $45 = 8rwhp
Mids w/HF cats - best exhaust mod period...at least 25rwhp
catback - another 15rwhp off baseline compared to stock
With the SCT tuner you should be able to give you a few ponies on top but more importantly bring your hp and torque curves up significantly in the lower rpms.
Peak HP on the stock cam/heads is around 5800...when you get your sct tune have them change the rev limit to 6200.
Search your local muscle car forums for a reputable dyno and if you are happy with shop..Use it for all tuning, pre-post mods...
Never get caught up in dyno number comparisons with posts online.... from dyno to dyno you can see a 10% swing in numbers based on dyno mfg and configuration.

Yep, yours lost signal at 5200 also, just like mine, but then picked back up!!!

I think it is the pick up they used............. you see at that rpm my engine was easily in the ludicrous speed if not close to plaid and there is now way any pickup could handle that amount of vibration..................

And Mr. Greg its time to put the 10 in the front of the NSX and Esprit............
So... How does it feel now without the trailer?
I would imagine that you can feel the 30+ hp pretty good!
