[QUOTE="Power Hungry, post: 252770, member: 1375"] Because even with a stock tune, our truck is not "stock". Our truck has an EGR Cooler delete, effectively rendering the EGR system inoperable. This will account for a noticeable difference in stock numbers. There is also some argument about the Black Onyx Gaskets (which we are running) being thinner than OEM gaskets which may not only change the compression but also valvetrain geometry, resulting in slightly higher stock HP. We are also running Rev-X, which we've already seen to add almost 10 HP. On top of that, we were dynoing on a 48º night. Finally, we are testing on a load dyno which allows for improved turbo spooling during power runs. Add that all up and the stock numbers we pulled are actually pretty reasonable. In most cases, an otherwise stock 6.0L with a fully functional EGR system will dyno around 280 HP - 290 HP on our dyno. Even our truck dynoed considerably less power on an 85-90 degree day with old oil and no Rev-X. What it comes down to is this... The actual final power number (stock or tuned) is not what really matters, it's the DIFFERENCE between the two with no other changes to the setup. Even if the stock base numbers are questionable, it does not invalidate the gains between the stock and tuned runs. I hope this clears up any confusion. :D [/QUOTE]
