Congrats! 371 RWHP is very healthy especially considering the AOD. Then with the nitrous, good luck holding that thing on the road!
It's always good to see guys making that kind of power with AOD's! What rear gear are you running with it?
Also, I couldn't help but notice the spike in the TQ curve between 5500 and 6000 rpm on the first dyno sheet. And then I see a dip in both the HP and TQ curve between 5000 and 5500 rpm on the nitrous run. Any idea why that is?
Thanks. Yeah for a power eating AOD I was very happy with the numbers. There are tons of guys with 331s and 347s running manual trans that don't make that much. The rear end is a 9inch with 4.11 posi. I am not sure what that spike is on the N/A run but on the Nitrous run that dip is when the nitrous shot kicked on.

Your car is pretty awesome too. I have read most of your post on your dyno runs. I really want to run down the 1/4 mile. This is what will really show me how it is running. But I built it mainly for a fun toy and man is it ever. Good luck with yours.

Anyway the wheels are custom one off Weld Wheels. The rear I am running a 17x9.5 with a 315/35 Nitto 555r. In the pic above though it was when I had my 275/40s in the rear. Now it looks way better with the huge tire under there. The rears have 6.375 backspacing. It is very tight and this is the biggest tire I could get at this ride height.

The front is a 17x8 with Michelin pilot sports 235/40/17. They have 5.375 backspacing. No rubbing.
