2007 5.3L spun a rod bearing........383 incoming!!!

So, for anybody following this thread, I received a dyno tune on Saturday, 14 Jan 2017.  ther truck put down 390RWHP and 400RWTQ.
 
Nice, that's about 460-480HP at the crank if you figure 20%-25% drive train loss.. Start saving for a new trans...
 
Yep, got my eyes on a Monster Transmission (y)

I'm not going to lie, I was hoping for better numbers.  The dyno operator/owner said that stock trucks put down about 250-260RWHP/RWTQ, so I was well above that at least.  I know it's just a number, and I'm sure our drivetrain is horribly inefficient plus the 3200RPM stall converter isn't doing me any favors I bet.
 
With those numbers, I'm sure you can crawl along in stop-and-go traffic with the best of them!
