That is correct it is our 2005 3v. I do have the graphs and I plan on posting on our web site as soon as i find some time this month. The biggest thing to pick up from these results are there is some nice real gains over stock using a higher octane fuel, paticularly down lower.
The major thing i seen as a negative during our test in April; is the 30% drive train loss
through hp and torque...from factory supposedly 360 hp and 450+ tq.. You will see what i mean when i get the graphs up...plus our DD reads normally 15% lower than a dyno jet... but between larges tires, tranny, transfer case, axle...you dont get near the 360 hp....My point is still the same as above; improvements overstock and not how big of number it will put down...

Good points about the dyno and the rotating weight.
Put an aluminum driveshaft into a small rear-wheel-drive car and be surprised what it yields - along with electric fans and a few other things, you can impress your friends

Dyno Graph
As promised, here is the dyno graph of our stock truck vs our 93 octane calibration. Please note the numbers are what they are and there is no need to dispute them. Our dyno reads about 15% less than a dyno jet. Its amazing at the amount of power train loss. Its all about the gains overstock reguardless of a number....Heck I myself wish it was higher/bigger but thats life..

Impressive results. Those stock runs show exactly what I saw on my first time pulling the 5er in the mountains last week. There is no torque backup below 4k rpm. Pulling longer hills when the rpm would get below 4000 you were done. Having that extra torque down to 3k should make a big difference.
By the way, is all else stock on the truck?

Yes during the dyno testing all else what stock. Now i have a FM70 and Airaid intake and have yet to run it on dyno with those mods....so i will have to find some time to mount it up...

Man those mid range gains are biggg, right where you need it. The info is appreciated and your rep is up another point.
I'm interested in seeing what the FM70 muffler and intake do.

Johnny your most likely right, thats why i have not run it again, I need to weld in an O2 bung and dial a/f . My plan is to dyno run it as is then calibrate the MAF then run it again... again this is when time permits...
