I hate to bring up this point, but dyno's are SOOOOOOOOOO varied from one shop to the next that i think we should preface certain things.....
For example, i see black Beauty with a post of 652 HP. That has to be a corrected number, right? I am more and more impressed by the Dodges the more i'm participating in the EFI Live beta, however - I have a hard time swallowing 652 as an uncorrected, stock turbo number. It's just not possible IMO. Not saying he's wrong, just thinking that there are so many ways to present a dyno number that.... well..... things arent equal from dyno to dyno. Anyone being around them much knows this....
That being the case, even with the best possible tuning provided by an EFI Live tuner, I'm not sure how much a number might go up or down. It's really hard to guess since we don't know the dyno, or any of the conditions surrounding the dyno.
I can give several examples of inconsistent dynos, because i've been on a few of them multiple times, running the same tunes and come up with VERY different results.
I'm not trying to derail the thread, but trying to 'guess' your number isn't going to be as helpful as simply stating if POWER is your goal, EFI Live will give you the potential to realize as much power as your setup is capable of producing. If that is 800 HP on they dyno you use, great! For the next guy with a very similar setup and a different dyno, 600 HP might be the cap. That's why I hate numbers unless it's a well known, well ran dyno.
Hoping this doesn't get me beaten - just want to clarify that I think if we're going to talk about dyno numbers that i think on a per truck basis, it's going to be hard to 'make a prediction' aside from saying that if overall power is the goal, we'll be able to help that truck realize all of its potential.
