Default little 5.3 that could

Went to the dyno today..graphs will be posted later by Gomer. Max Power 658.7..Max Torque..670.5. Not to bad, I'm really happy. Just a little anti-freeze from lifting the heads a little,at just 13#. And there will be video from the ride home . It is very smooth power feels good.

Dam! That thing is making some power. What is done to your motor? What heads do you have on there? I love turbos.
