i dont know what rpm... the graph is in hp vs. MPH, and im not sure what gear they used.. once i know the gear i can figure out rpm, i think they used 3rd or 4th. The one thing i did like about the 4 pulls was they they were all almost dead on with eahc other with considerably smooth curves and no jumping, so its running consistant. Now i gotta get the car to the track to get some ETs... maybe thatll save the TPI setup... otherwise.. out it comes.

**EDIT**
87 L98 225@4400 330@2800
88 L98 230@4400 330@3200
89 L98 240@4400 345@3200
90 L98 245@4400 345@3200
91 L98 245@4400 345@3200
92 L98 245@4400 345@3200

those are the factory rated numbers... I have a rebuilt 87 shortblock(stock bore, stock internals) just with a 90-92 style TPI setup. So basically im pretty close. I also dont have any tune yet, the custom chip is just to run the L98 with the T5, no A.I.R., and no VATS. My mods are only K&N, headers, catback and LT1 injectors. Possibly a set of aluminum heads, and a bigger cam will up the HP enough to satisfy me. But since i dont really want to spend the money to upgrade the TPI setup, i dunno if itll be worth it, but a blower on top of a heads/cam combo is also another possiblity. All in all, i'm happy with HOW the car ran, considering i rebuilt the motor all by myself and I did all the assembly and wiring of the TPI. And im confident, with 91 octane gas, a clean filter and tunign it a little leaner, i think i could hit 210hp
