Thats very low for a 6speed and trickflows, it should be closer to the 450 you expected, i just did 404/385 with unported 5.3 truck heads through a 4.11 35spline 9" rear that robs about 15hp and 10 torque compared to a stock 10 bolt rear. Id check compression, your about 50hp low or thats a VERY stingy dyno. How do other heads/cam ls1's do there?

Could be, if the clutch isnt fully engaged and its slipping it wont put the power down. Throttlebody wont hold you back THAT much, maybe 5-10hp tops. And then again with a FAST 92 or 102 setup should be more like 460-470 with all your other top notch stuff you got. Id try a new clutch and check compression and redyno it.

Another thing i dont like is your cam choice. Trickflows have EXCELLENT exhaust flow and like cams with a closer duration. Your 226/234 would be better being something like 232/234 with these heads.

Also you probably did this but did you get the 7.5" length pushrods and roller rockers that trickflow's require/recommend? If you have stock length 7.4" you wont be getting enough valve lift

I have yells terra 1.7 roller rockers. The pushrods were. 7 something I will check it out and tell you guys. If I had low compression wouldent the runner know or wouldent the car make less power. If I did the fast 92 and 92 tb. A under drive crank pully. Would I be at 450rwhp.

Check compression first to check if any cylinders are low and then do a clutch, sounds like you need one reguardless, and if you had low compression in say 1 cylinder it wouldnt be that noticeable especially being your cammed the car lopes anyway and low on compression would probably put you where you are at if it wasnt that bad. Underdrive pulley is worth about 5-10hp and intake about 20hp MAX on a stock cube ls1. But you seem to have more going then that. Like the guy above said i wouldnt spend more money on go fast stuff until you get it "fixed" if you got low compression or something wrong in the valvetrain an intake isnt gonna help.

Most H/C cam LS1 cars have been making 430+ rwhp for damn near 10-12 years with a stock LS6 intake and stock TB...even with a stock balancer...And that was using archaic/tiny 224* single pattern cams..
I would expect a MINIMUM of 430 rwhp with any head/cam combo and an M6.
Id be looking for another dyno as well as doing a compression/leak down test.

that cam works great with TFS heads.get a better clutch ,and you need a fast intake.your exhaust with cats are holding you back also.if you find any low compression do a ls383 short block .

i will check for compression soon. i have tfs 21407500 pushrods says 6-7.50x 5/16 on the
package. when we were dynoing it it never stoped making power.
