For comparisons sake, I will tell you what I ran on my stock short block, before the 396. 35K mile stock short block, TEA stage 3 ported stock castings, Comp XTreme Energy 230/236 576/576 112 cam, ported LT1 intake, 1 3/4 long tubes, SLP 2OTL catback. On the mail order tune from PCM4LESS, first pull, I put down 378 RWHP @ 6300 RPM, and 355 FTLB of torque, with the torque curve being VERY broad and flat, running a little rich. Brian then made a small adjustment to lean it out a hair, and he was telling me I could have made about 385 to 390 RWHP no problem. I never go to find that out, as I spun a rod bearing on the very next pull. I hope that gives you some kind of reference for where you will be, minus the spun rod bearing. If you are running a stock short block, don’t rev it past 6000. I was revving to 6500.
