Dyno results - poor parts combo?

I think a lot can be said about variances in numbers from different dynos, however just looking at your combo you're probably right around where you should be.
Check out my combo below -- same heads, similar cam and supporting mods. N/A I usually made 430 - 440 rwhp and 405 - 410 rwtq with my combo. The high ends of the ranges were when the N/A tune was dialed in really well -- car ran strong. Sure the car didn't put up crazy dyno numbers, but it drives well and makes a ton of power under the curve. When I decided that I wanted crazy dyno numbers I slapped on a N2O kit and got my dyno sheet with 600+ rwhp.
Based on what you've said about your car it sounds like a "middle of the road" cam mated with those heads should do a pretty good job meeting your needs on the course -- if that's the case, keep tearing it up on the course and no worries if the only thing you're lacking is a dyno sheet with big numbers.

Exactly! My cousin went in the 11's with a full body TA and just bolt ons and a 228R cam. Too many people use the dyno for what's it's NOT intended for. It's for getting the most out of your combination not bench racing. A dyno is a tool...not a racetrack.
