They did break in the motor before putting the s/c back on. He said that was about 10psi so that's about as much as you can get out of the 2.87 pulley. So I am limited on the amount of power I can make by the s/c impeller speed. I know the motor could take a lot more they say stage 1 is good until about 650 hp. But this way I should be able to drive it all day at the track with no problems. And if I ever want to add TT later or a N20 shot I could.

Remember my car is a auto and that is another 5 to 10 % drive train loss. I do have HFC, and Y pipe with cat back exhaust. He said he was right at 390 but he pulled some timing so this might be a very conservative tune. It could have a lot to do with the engine being brand new as well cause new engines don't make full power until there broke in. I don't really know why I am just guessing. Remember its also hard to compare cause each car's numbers were on different dyno's.

Later down the road you could dyno at Corvette's of Dallas, about 15 of us or so dynoed there so we have a good sample, including auto's (which is another good point).
