low numbers for a cam and intake w/full exhaust just installed a crane cams 224/224 with a 551/551 lift and a 114 lobe sep., slp lid, also an ls6 intake, have a corsa catback with hooker lt's and y-pipe, it put down a best of 363 rwhp on a dynajet and ran an 8.6 at 87 at the track with a 2.2 60 foot, a/f was pretty steady at 12.7, shouldnt this make more power?

I would think so, I did 340 through a flowmaster which as we all know restrict like hell, and headers, lid and LS6 manifold was stock on mine. Thats only 23 and your cammed.

I don't know!!! I made 350rwhp with a bigger cam........but I didn't have headers. Then I got headers and it jumped to over 400rwhp. I know I did it backwards. 
Since your cam is so small, I am thinking that's not too bad. I got a buddy with all the bolt ons that you got except he has a 232/234 cam and much more lift.............he only put down 380rwhp. Thats 20 more than you got.
Remember that you can see a good gain or loss depending on temp, air density and berametric pressure. That all plays a significant factor in how your car performs.
I'd plain and simply get a bigger cam if I were you.

Compression? Leak down? What condition is the shortblock? I was trapping 90-91mph thru the 1/8th TR224 cam only with all boltons 399rwhp. Something is amiss.
