I'll see if I can dig up my stock dyno from my 2000 SS and post it.

Looking at a few graphs yesterday I found 305 and 315 around 2k rpm for the LT1, could've been flukes. I can never find a dyno sheet for a LS motor that starts lower than 3k and the slope implies it'd be lower than the LT car at 2k rpm. In the end it doesn't matter to me much, since I'm not stock and only continue to get less stock.

Silencer, you're looking at peak numbers. While on paper, they look impressive, in the real world, not so much. You want nice numbers but you want power under the entire curve.
