Exclamation G5X3 questions??

I have a G5X3 114 in my car, the tuner just called and said so far its making 394rwhp and falls flat after 6k rpms. I have all the bolt ons, cut-open(check link in sig for list). Is there maybe something holding my car back from making 400rwhp?? or could it just be the freakin heat today, its like 100 and Humid here is DFW.

Stock rockers, Patriot "Gold" Kit, stock lifters. The Tech called me a min ago and said I hit 401 but my average was 390 range, he also informed me my gas gauge is messed up cause it ran out of fuel, so I am thinking it my be low numbers due to "Low fuel" table + Heat.

I think there is more going on if it falls flat at 6000 RPM, that cam should pull hard up to 6800 or better I would think. Hopefully the pump didn't burn up when it went empty..

well i looked at the dyno, it doesnt fall flat just stays there, Ill post up the sheet, looks like they just took it to 6100 or 6200, I am gonna take it to another dyno when the weather cools down, it was like 98 today and the humidty was very high. I am just happy I broke 400 even its by 1 heheh and it pulls like a ***** in 3rd, before the tune it felt held back, but now its WOW 1st gear is just sick, cant wait till I get my gears in.
