Since I haven't the time to hit a track, dyno # work well for me and my uneducated friends that go holly shinikey Batman. Sounds like a good run. I hit a dyno day once with Pat's tune and no engine fan and slammed out a whopping 397 hp. Bad dyno day?
Same tune that Kat laid out 530ish RWHP with, SCIV trans. Dyno was wack IMHO. Sad thing was the fact it was a Dodge dyno day! Ran exact same setup on a dynoJet later following week, 486hp/909 tq.
i know that dynos are a tuning tool...
me wanting to run it on a another dyno is like cutting a 12.0 at the track then going back to double check that that is all...
i would love to see this cut 105+mph at the track
I am going out on a limb here and going to say the dyno numbers may not be quite accurate and my reasons are only because I have a lot of dyno experience and have tuned over 150 trucks, a lot of them on dyno's the last 2+ years. this truck is currently back inthe widerness of canada i do know it was cold and a alot of dence air... but with no said correction factor
I also have hundreds of logs with very good data containing fuel pressure, timing curves, pw, boost, egt's etc to give me an idea the limits of the stock CP3/turbo in even freak LB7 trucks............. not doubting you
I would like to share my dyno experience as a reference only, if your tuning does make 569/1260 then I need to get back on a dyno soon to try and figure out what I might be doing wrong........ i dont think i beat the master yet...inlucde pat as well
But my own 2002 CC/SB/LB7 has dyno'd a high of only 518 RWHP on Dunbars Dynojet and just over 1000 Lbs/Ft Tq.
At that HP/TQ and pw I was running the rail psi was in the low 19K range but holding that pressure well. This is with a Socal Billet pickup, -10 AN kit line kit from Socal Diesel, twin Laing pumps and a brand new LBZ CP3 pump with modified tuning for it and 31 psi max on a stock charger with a Bank's Big Head.
That same tune with a SC-III, Co-Pilot, twin lift pumps and a mid 1.7X/60 foot time went a best of 12.66/105.X in the 1/4 mile at a close to sea level track in my truck. This seems to fall in line with KAT running almost the same speed and time in the 1/4 mile with a 530 RWHP/LBZ tune and no Co-Pilot in a Crew Cab/Short Bed as well
That same tune was also run in a 2001 without a Co-Pilot but a very similiar engine/trans setup and an extended cab long bed. That truck went 12.70 with a similiar 60/ft time racing me that day with a stock but very strong LB7 CP3 pump.
Your tune should out run all three of these trucks easily at the track, in fact I would expect a 12.40 pass at 106-107 with a decent 60/ft time.
I would like to see it dyno'd on an LB7 at Westech or another Superflow dyno that has a lot of experience with these trucks to back the numbers up again as they seem a bit higher than normal especially the TQ at over 1250.
I think once it gets backed up on the dyno and track then you can take the credit without a doubt for your accomplishment.
Good Luck,
Tony

I have learned with tuning that some trucks perform way differnt then others. Tranny are the same. There is a differnce between a week 569 hp and a strong 569 hp I beilve we can pretty much say its a week 569 hp. What i mean about this claim is if u have another vehicle making the same hp with a fuel rail cp3 mods and a lift pump it will pick up alot quicker on the bottom end and level out up top.
Just like i know a transgo is not a subsitute for a built tranny. But with just tranny and stock conveter i am able to clock off 105 mph trap speeds. But my truck seems to perform better then others. with just the transgo.
I two am not calling BS because im tired of applagizeing when im wrong. But if its backed up that will be awesome.
All was aid about the corrections was that this tune was corrected to sea level. If it helps when he was setting the truck up he had to find out a number with the dyno before we could run and I think it was in the 50's.
In the last 4-5 years that the Dmax has been out I have not ever read about, nor have I ever had a dyno chart produced that had a TQ reading that high with the truck set-up you have.
I have dyno'd trucks with BD turbo's and 20% sticks that have made that HP but not anything close to that TQ.
In my opinion, you would need lift pumps, twin CP3's, a GT4094 or better like an A5K to make that much TQ wthout the use of N20.
I am only playing devil's advocate and not trying to tear your truck or Adam's tuning down in any way.
I have been following duramax performance since late 2002 and have had my hand in a lot of builds with varying combinations and IMHO the numbers just don't add up.

? whats your opinion on the 530/1000 run? it is less of a tune than the 569/1260 run...
