A 9.003, is a dick punch time slip unless you are racing in a 9.0 bracket.
You're telling me, my cousin videod my reaction when I got the timeslip (he saw the ET on the board). It was so funny we started saying it's 9 flat instead of 9 o clock, because I told them I was going to go run an 8 second pass (the track was good and the air was cool).
Unfortunately I ran out of time and went up before the bottle was warm that pass, only 720 psi when we turned it on before the burnout, I tried it anyway of course...

I haven't tested a stock 350 engine on a dyno.
I tested an LS2 with stockish heads. I say stockish because I did a mild port job and removed the rocker stud bump and the swirl protrusions from the factory LS2 heads. Comrpession was stock, bore was stock, heads were mostly stock. The stroke (4.0") and cam were not stock, and I have to say it picked up more power below 5000 RPM than above with the volcano, although it picked up almost everywhere. But it picked up 19 lb-ft of torque and 15 hp at 4000 RPM, and averaged another 13 lb-ft and 11 HP up to 5000 RPM. Whereas above 5000 it picked up about 5 HP.
Here are the results...for that...

I am also going to add a dyno video, I am behind on my website because I haven't had time to update it much.
Here are all the results I have compiled so far, actual results, not just seat of the pants stuff, but I have not updated the details yet, running low on time these days.
I do have the Volcano on everything from stock 350s to over 1000 HP NA BBC rail dragsters running 4s in the 1/8. I just don't have data on everything.

No worries, glad you are busy
Was just noticing most of the PF users on here have stock to lightly modified 350s
Also realize we probably don’t comprise the largest section of your customer base. Appreciate what you do for us

Well I greatly appreciate my customers from here so I am glad to help out anyway I can. I started advertising first on here so this place really helped launch my business and I have been a member here for 17 years now(long before I was a vendor), its really the only forum I post on a regular basis.
And although most customers on here don't have solid roller motors, that doesn't matter, because most of my customers are street/strip type cars/trucks or performance offroad rigs. And there are also some stockish 350s, and then some wild ones. I am getting an intake this week for a BBC that is going to be 2300 HP on methanol with a procharger in a 66 Nova. I am converting the intake to EFI from carb. I do that too, I need to add that to my website.
Every combination is different, but being able to change the inserts in 5 minutes means its easy to adapt the intake to that combo. I try to make sure I get the customer what's best for them, not what's best for me to sell them. I feel like the Volcano airflow velocity inserts benefit the lower RPM a little more, and the Volcano nitrous benefits the racing or weekend warrior a little more. But both can benefit either if they want.
If someone has a stock/mild 350 they are going to dyno test, PM me, maybe we can work something out.

I have 3 different heights so far. I can easily have more in the future yes. And a taller one is not a bad idea (have pondered that myself) because sometimes the tallest one makes the most power and you wonder if a taller one yet would be even better.

i like the direct port no2 shot unit . makes it hide a system real easy if you ask me under the intake . 
Thank you, yes, its easy to hide that's for sure. On my regal you can't tell I have nitrous with the hood open. You really have to take the air cleaner off and look behind the intake to see the solenoid hiding under there, or open the trunk, then the bottle is pretty obvious.
I have some bracket racers running the juice because they can play the finish line with it.
But in my opinion, the bigger benefit is you get the distribution more like a direct port system, without all the cost and plumbing complexity. In my patent I have shown how the proprietary internals are designed so as to create uniform distribution from cylinder to cylinder, it's very simple, but not obvious, even when you look at the outside of it.

Pretty cool. Just now seeing this.

That's the hard thing to tell. It feels like it pulls really strong. Whether that's from the Volcano or the EFI, it's hard to say. I can't help but think there's some butt dyno improvement from the Volcano. I would think a better motor would benefit even more.
While I have no intention of getting on a dyno (don't want to get laughed at), I'm excited to get my new intake and volcano and maybe squeeze a few more ponies out of this turd.
A local car show had a mobile dyno setup one year but I wasn't in town. I keep hoping they'll bring it back because I thought it would be fun to put my stock trucks on it just to see what they do.
Heath, how come you never told me about this?!? Super cool innovation.
Thanks Glenn, I guess I just don't realize how many people don't know about it yet.
I have a single plane intake in stock for that LS you just got if you want to keep the carb look and go 4150 TB w/Volcano.....we know a guy looking for a cathedral TBSS intake so you could always sell it...

That would sure dress up an ugly Gen III.

Heath, I’m curious what cam was used in this dyno pull. Any recollection of the specs?

It was about .600" lift and 230s duration at .050" if I recall correctly (something around 231/239). The stroke was 4" and the compression was 11:1. I ported the heads myself, mild port job, nothing extreme. I wish I could remember the LSA but I have too many cams in my head now, if I picked it I probably would of picked 112 for that one, but I didn't pick it. If you are looking for a cam I would be happy to help you pick it out and order it for you.
We actually did a lot of testing on that engine, including a small shot of nitrous, and with a carb.
The carb picked up 15 HP and 19 lb-ft of torque on just the volcano inserts, and the small 100 shot of nitrous picked up 152 HP and 223 lb-ft of torque! The same long block was used in every test. Only swapping intakes, induction style, or adding N20.
