Here is what @MACAWS ended up with, 382HP and 399 ft/lbs or torque on our loaded dyno. The smaller 2.5" exhaust on his setup does not quite flow the same as @rabtech setup so we had to keep the boost a little lower. We are going to get some pieces together though and make a custom exhaust for @MACAWS to be able to flow enough to push the really big power safely and get that installed at a later date. This is a really nice jump in power over the pre-engine swap dyno (red line on the graph). Traction is a major issue with all of that torque, lots of tires will die with this setup

Congrats. That is going to be pretty peppy. Mine was 431 I believe on the loaded dyno graph. That would be 50hp that the exhaust held you back. Not bad. Trust me you don't want to dump it straight out below. It's so loud!!!

NOTHING YET FROM @MACAWS ?!?!?!?!?!?!
MUST HAVE FAINTED OR SOMETHING!!!!
OR MAYBE HE'S CHANGING HIS UNDIES!!!!!!!
I did see him dreaming, I think.

That's about 250 HP increase from what I remember, dang!

Ok I have arrived at the hotel down the road from DDM
I was parked at the front gate trying to look in the windows but I needed to get some sleep - yeh like I am going to sleep
Ok so I did not really exceed my mentors incredible numbers but we all knew going in that my exhaust was an issue.
Dave had actually tweaked the boost and got me pretty close but he wasn't comfortable with the air/fuel readings at the top and suggested we dial it back. Good advise! As Dave posted this is a temporary bump in the HP road. I want to keep the side exhaust so we will discuss a new design in the morning and get to it when his schedule clears up.
Huge Thank You to Dave / Jeff and the entire DDM Crew for another successful heart transplant!Now since Wrenchman does not want to be out done he is using me to deliver a bribe tomorrow - yep I have a huge cooler full of treats. You boys will need the extra HP because you will be adding some weight1
See you in the morning - can't tell you how happy I am - even if @rabtech won the HP war

Absolutely no Bribe here . I will always be out done when it comes to a HP chase. The cooler is full of Sweet Equity to assist and thank all involved in the Sweat equity of tweaks for power and durability enhancements to my SLOW RED ONE .
I can't run with the "Big Dogs" all the time so I will have to watch from the Porch on occasion .
I will add that my "Radiator " will surely not be out done by another nameless SLOW RED ONE ! You know who you are .

We have plenty of fuel to keep us going now !
Keep an eye out for posts about @Wrenchmn 's red ride here soon. -
Engine install complete with matching trailer decals.

That looks very nice.

Great numbers and can't wait to hear the new exhaust!
So I am curious - is it some sort of secret to how much boost you and Rab are running or did I miss that tidbit somewhere while looking at the sweet pics and watching the intense videos?
