Power left on the table Last winter I had my LS1 rebuilt. Went with forged rods and pistons. AFR 205 heads, LS6 intake, 10.8:1 compression and because I was concerned with too much cam installed a 219 intake , 219 exhaust @.050 cam .585 lift and 114 centerline. I'm thinking I went too conservative on the cam.
Further details are 1.75 mid length headers.
4L60E with 3200 stall. 3.50 gears.
It's in a 67 Nova so it's light car.
It runs good. Did 382 rwhp on the chassis dyno.
Did I leave a bunch of horse power on the table with the cam? It needs to be a good daily driver. Headers are going to be replaced this winter with full length 1.75"
Suggestions on a bit more cam?

A Futral F12 (230/230, 112 or 114lsa with .595" lift) would be about as big as I would go with for a daily driver.

You don't need a new cam, you need track numbers. Autos typically don't do well on the dyno. Track numbers and a full mod sheet will help us figure out if you need more cam or not.
