for RWHP and RWTQ curves for a stock 99.5 with an auto tranny, as measured on a water brake load dyno.

Max RWHP=212.2 HP at 2600 RPM, and Max RWTQ=463.1 lb-ft at 1800 RPM.
These numbers don't depend on a particular diff ratio, check posts #11 and #19 on the thread below for an explanation of what these HP and TQ numbers mean.

235 hp in a 2000?

So ernesteugene, would letting it shift at 1800 rpm get the best mileage out of the truck? I've read on here that under 2000 you get the best mileage out of it. Doesn't the torque usually top out around there? Thanks again!

The short answer is yes, but I'll also give a longer one just in case you're interested in more details. Check this thread for a discussion of engine efficiency...

What's The Net Volumetric Efficiency, VE (%), For A 7.3L PSD?

... Typically VE is a maximum at the RPM where the TQ peaks. At lower RPM the intake valve remains open longer which aids cylinder filling, but the air flow velocity is low, and the inertia of the air causes the flow to have more of a starting and stopping action, and the net effect is a reduction in VE as the RPM decreases. At higher RPM the flow is at a higher velocity, and now the inertia of the air aids filling. When an intake valve opens the built up inertia provides a RAM air effect and pushes the air into the cylinders. However at higher RPM the valve isn't open as long, and the net effect is again a reduction in VE. As BP increases the flow becomes more turbulent and choked, and this causes a reduction in VE at higher BP....
For a stock engine, VE and TQ peaks at about 1800 RPM. If you do the basic intake and exhaust mods, that allows the engine to increase its air flow some at higher RPM, and this shifts the VE and TQ peaks up to about 2000 RPM. Since HP~(TQ)(RPM), this inurn increases the HP at 2000 RPM, and shifts the HP peak toward higher RPM, from about 2600 RPM stock to about 2800 RPM with mods. Of course if you add a chip to get more fuel to go with the increased air flow you can increase the peak HP by a significant amount compared to stock.

Thanks ernesteugene, I do plan on the intake, exhaust, and the chip. The wife says I need to wait till after xmas to get the gauges first. I want to get them first so I can start with a baseline and see how each one keeps the temps under control.

Yes, definitely get gauges, and keep a close eye on the EGT until you get a feel for how quickly it climbs at WOT with your chip, and I recommend a DP for that.

When you get a chance read these threads...

Thanks again eugene, I am planing on the DP chip for this truck. I had a TS performance 6 position on my last truck and really liked it, but from what I hear about the DP its a lot better. What is the highest setting I can get before you need to start doing fuel upgrades?

Not sure I can answer that but can say my 80econ was stronger than the TS anything I selected. On the dragstrip I was able to duplicate my 120 race setting times when I switched to the 80econ. Draw your own conclusions there. Stock injectors, HPOP and some fuel mods with a stock fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. I can say there is no air in my fuel system.
