6th Gen ('00-'05): Guess my horsepower :)
Wow does that mean I was the closest?
Nice run John... Cant wait to see what will happen with the upgraded fuel pump!
Thanks man. One tip of advice from experience when upgrading a fuel pump go bigger than you will ever need so you don't have to do it twice like me lol

Hell yeah way to go there with your Turbo Monte John. Excellent numbers your car laid down for you!! 
The torque is off the charts, what? That's way crazy high, how does it feel running down the highway, crazy mad? Now you have to go get your pilots license.
Brian knows how to milk every bit of power for sure, were you impressed with his knowledge? He's like an Einstein brainiac kind of guy eh?
Stinking fuel pump, who would have thought, as you do already have a very nice one plus the boost-a-pump too. LOL, there is always a gremlin lurking somewhere, you will get em the next time!
502 whp, yee ha!!

Thanks greg! We had some bugs that took a lot of time working out but brian helped and we got her done. We were on the dyno for about 10hrs though. Brian is a super good guy and excellent at what he does!
Brian warned me about possibly running out of pump even with the boost a pump before I made the trip. He was right lol

Brian's the right guy to have on your team to work through the bugs.
Hell a 10 hour dyno session, that had to be epic, bet you manipulated every reasonably spare pony out of that engine. How in the hell did you get such high torque numbers? Is it the gearing you have in your diff. and the use of the 2700 stall torque converter?
Sometimes I think I would like to have Brian dyno mine again to see what he can do with it. But then Matt say's he could get me more, but wanted to do me a safe tune so as to not stress out the motor as it will live longer down there just under the maxing it out mark. And my tune was done without the water meth as we later discovered it was not working, so Matt thinks I should add about another 30whp because of that. Did not want to go back to the dyno to find out as it's a fair amount of $$$$. But we do now have the water / meth back in operation.
You do know if you brought your car to Utah you would lose about 11% of your whp at our altitude (4800 ft). (3% for every 1,000 ft) 502whp - 11% = 446 whp up here, and when my car gets down there (about 900 ft) it will gain about 11%, 499 + 11% = 553 whp. But your torque is whats so crazy. So in retrospect if you had your larger capacity fuel pump we would match each other pretty close. But with your torque numbers I think your car will pull away like a freight train from me.
It will be fun to spend some time on the road with you driving from your place to the GM NAt's. I will coordinate this pretty close with you in the near future, thinking of having the trucking company pick it up on the first week of June and having it dropped off at your house with in a week or so.
Again a very hardy congrats on some very very impressive dyno numbers!!

im not sure about the percentage numbers of altitude but i am sure i would lose some hp for sure if i dyno up there. mine is tuned on the safe side as well do to fuel pressure dropping on the 502whp pull and that was only a half pull so it has way more in it. once we seen pressure drop we backed down the boost and made it safe to sit it at 472whp for now until bigger pump is installed.
im sure once i get a bigger pump me and you will have identical hp cars
on the way home today i got a little issue up high in the rpm when making a pull it is cracking out which tells me fuel issue again but i will be logging data and checking it out (this didnt happen on the dyno at all)
thanks everyone this has been a long time coming and minus a fuel pump i feel i am finally there!!
