Here is a dyno sheet for my car I did as a base when it had JUST the SLP package installed before doing ANY of my other mods or even custom tuning. When I did this my car had about 115,000 miles. This is actual rear wheel: 199RWHP@4690RPM and 261RWTQ@4000RPM. Admittedly the TQ on a TPI engine peaks around 3200RPM stock and about 3500-3600RPM with the SLP package, but the dyno tech had me start the run at a higher RPM (4000RPM) when my TQ was already way on the decline. I would estimate back then I should have been around 300ft/lbs TQ at about 3600RPM at the rear wheel. Not bad for a little 305.
After rebuilding my engine I'll do another dyno with the new heads/cam after I tune it. Then another after the ProCharger is installed and tuned correctly.
