01 L dyno results
310. I knew the truck seemed a mite sluggish.
The guy said he was getting diminishing results w/ each run.
My buddy w/ a 300 ZX TT got 540. Oh yeah.
On the way over to the shop, I raced him from a light and took him easy, but I could see him fishtailing in the rearview.
Once he gets some traction, I'm toast.

Depending on your mileage 310 might not be too bad; I made 327 with about 4000 miles on mine (99). I have a buddy that made 315 when his (00) had 1500 miles and now with the standard 3 bolt-on' he’s running 13.0 flat, and remember a 13.0 in Texas is probably a 12.7 - 12.8 up north where all the super runs are made in cold air. I think when you add a chip it evens things out a bit, especially if you have a custom one made.
I can’t speak for others but my truck feels like a dog above 80 degrees, maybe all Lightnings are the same?
If you already have 3000 miles or more I definitely would find another dyno.
I don’t think that dynos are all calibrated together in the real world. I believe some dynos are calibrated with a standard weight (??4000lbs???), if this is the case then how can you compare a 5000 lb fully loaded L with gas, driver, bald tires, and a slipping clutch/torque converter, ect… to the opposite, on maybe a completely different dyno type/manufacture?
I don’t know for a fact if these changes make a difference. I just think that this is a whole new set of variables to consider when we compare one dyno run in one part of the country, to another truck in another part.
I do think dynos are great to compare one change made to another, given all the conditions are basically the same.

ACoder,
At what RPM did you make 365 lb torque at.
I made 365 lbs at 4800 RPM, if you're making 365 lb at say 3000 RPM you're in real trouble, at 3000 RPMs I was making ~410 lbs.
Mark,
Can you post your dyno run with a RPM range? My dyno pull looks like your dyno pull but I made 10 RWHP less than yours. Funny I made a lot more torque than yours up to a point and then it's the same torque but you end up with more HP?????
