so i found out i have low compression in one of my cylenders when i was getting it dynoed, thinking its a ring maybe, how much hp do yall think my 99 lightning should be putting on the ground? after the dyno i had 360hp, 455 torque...
upgrades include-
-#4 lower pully(12psi total)
-pacesetter long tube headers
-3in custom mid pip, hi flow cats and flowmasters
-full performance cold air intake
-90mill maf
-custom dyno tune

i know yall cant be for sure, but what have yall seen other trucks with similure upgrades get?

I would think you should make more power than that. I would have done a good port while you were at it.

What kind of dyno were you on?

i did all of that before i did everything to it, and im now in the works of setting everything up to get the engine rebuilt, borring it .30 over, but i had it dynoed at Piedmont Customs, in nc.. they specialize in fords and mustangs, they are going to be doing the rebuild

hard to say with different dyno's, different day, temps and so on. But i do think your numbers are on the low side but not by much.
