Sounds like a torque spike on an AT car to me.

sounds like a 380 torque on a 6-speed. Mine indeed did spike and hit 596 for torwue. Pulled again and got the number that you guys are calling Bs about. So all in all i think im right.

Because 380rwhp is extremely hard to achieve. Ive never seen a camaro with bolt ons do it.. ive been around for awhile.
My Z wont do it with heads/cam .. but the hp is pretty good up there with what i gots..
Just enough to run with the civic si's and the skittles.

Actually the 380 is supposed to be torque but ok. I never claimed it in horse power at all. No way and i know that

Thats cool if u got that torque curve on it.. Perhaps u should get it dynoed at another facility and see if the hp and tq numbers compare..??

i've honestly never seen an LT1 make hugely varying numbers like that unless it was on the bottle or boosted. where did you make this 380rwtq in the rpms? i mean shit, when i put a 75 shot on, i made 325/375, thats the most my peak numbers have ever varied. now they are pretty much matching.

also, when are you spraying, from the sounds of 500rwtq, its way too early.
