A4 or T56? Do you have a bigger stall converter in there and a bigger rearend? Id guess if its an A4 its in the 330-340 range and if its a T56 340-350rwhp. Pulling the heads and putting in a impala head gasket will bump the compression up will help alot.

You will be better off if you can get to a track and follow your improvements there. There is no standard from one dyno to another and your car can show different readings even on the same dyno depending on who is running it that day.

I would guess that as well if it's healthy and assuming good valve springs.

Re: LT1 wont be going to the dyno anytime soon.....

should easily hit 330rwhp with mailorder tune. Squeak a few more ponies with a dyno tune.

I made 383rwhp/353rwtq with the same cam and a set of LE2 ported heads done 8-9 yrs ago. I was on a mailorder tune that I tweaked the A/F on.... never tweaked the timing.

Actually 93 M6's came with either 2.73 or 3.23. After that, all M6's were 3.42.
