low power on the dyno with cts-v ls6 car
had the car tuned over the weekend
04 cts-v with a patg spec cam, and udp
specs on the cam are 226/230 .598/.609 on a 113lsa+2
pac 1518 valve springs, new oil pump
only other mods are a corsa cat back
car feels good and drives great after the tune but i have to say i was disapointed with the power it shows, i know it is only a number but i have seen others make more then this without a cam
344whp and 322wtq
i didnt get any before numbers, the car feels alot stronger then it did before the cam

god I hope mine does better. Numbers are irrelivant really. What kind of dyno did they use? Mustangs tend to be a bit of a heart breaker. is that wheel or calculated Flywheel HP using a run down dyno? Corrected or not?

I've got a similar thread here. I had a similar sized cam. Little bit bigger now but haven't been back to the dyno. Going to swap my clutch before going back to the dyno but still feel 30-40 horses down.
Any help or thoughts greatly appreciated.
OP get that graph up.

wow thats pretty low...my '05 dyno'd at 359whp on a dynojet with just dual cutouts. if you don't have longtubes or a cold air intake of some sort those are definitely your bottlenecks

Get ya a good set of Headers/Mids, a good CAI, and get rid of the dual mass heavy flywheel for a LS7 clutch setup. That should pick the car up tremendously. If you need any help getting a hold of those parts, you know the number!
