And most people on here beleive theres a significant power loss due to heat soak around 215-220!!

But to give you an idea what to expect, here are my times. Forgive me if my mph is off from my previous posting, i'm pulling these from the top of my head.

Stock (just filter + plugs) 14.05@101

Diablo(93+normal shift points) 13.80@102.5

Diablo(93+raised shift points) 14.20@???(i deleted the file)

I don't have real track data to support my claims, but my trusty ole Gtech has always held up to scrutiny on my past vehicles, so these times should be strongly considered.

However according to the few stock 5.7 dynos that I have seen, our power seems to trail off right before shifting using the stock shift points, so increasing the shift points will just make it worse. On V8 vehicles, more RPM does not necessarily mean more power.
It rained on friday so the strip was closed. now i have to wait another 2 weeks to get my times. i couldn't find the 180 degree t-stat. the only one i cold find was a 160 degree. my temp on the track ran about 178 degrees. I'll give another update in 2 weeks
