Question 377whp & 331tq seem to low???

i just recently put in an ms4 cam, vig 4k stall, and all the supporting mods(oil pump, valve train..ect). i have full bolt ons w/stock 3:23 gears. with just full bolt ons i made 330whp-339tq. i know horse power is mainly used for tuning and what not and that my converter takes a lot as it was unlocked. but do my new numbers seem to be low to you guys? i was expecting to be around 385whp-360tq. also the dyno is not a mustang dyno.

those numbers are low! but remember its an auto, so its not really gonna show huge numbers. the 4k stall is gonna eat up alot of power. plus do u have a LS6 manifold? if your still running the ls1 manifold its def holding back some power.

Unlocked numbers were that? Then actually that is good. If you would have made another pull and locked the converter, you will see up to 20-50rwhp gain.. So your over 400rwhp with a locked converter. So cam only, I dont think your doing bad at all.

torque numbers seem a little low...locking the converter will net you at least another 20 ponies tho.

Numbers vary. I went from 402 to 435 by locking the converter. Usually average 30 hp.
