Default Patriot cam owners - Dyno numbers

Has anyone here that has the Patriot 226/226 585/585 112LSA had their cars dynoed yet? I had mine dynoed on Tuesday and my results suck, I think my car is wanting more airflow with this cam. My numbers came to be:

309 RWHP
297 Ft. Lbs

This was on my 98 Z-28 with the TC unlocked, my mods are as follows:

Pacesetter coated LT's
Pacesetter ORY
Hooker Aerochamber catback
MSD wires
NGK TR-55 plugs
SLP Lid
K&N filter
Bellow
Descreened Ported and Polished MAF
Polished TB
Stock heads and intake

The dyno was a Mustang Dyno, some have allready told me they show lower numbers than a dynojet. It seems to me everyone on here is at least making 350 at the wheels with baby cams and I can't even break 300 ft. lbs. of torque. The car is damn strong, runs like **** half the time but it'll get up and move. I just wanted to compare some others dyno numbers with the same cam to see if something is wrong with my car.

Here's the dyno sheet, I think the heads are the main reason being this cam has 585" of lift and the heads can't flow enough to make up for it. My LS6 intake is going on this weekend, I hope it makes a difference.

part of the problem is that your torque converter was unlocked, you could expect to see a 10% improvement in dyno numbers with a locked converter (which would put you in the 330s to the wheels). those heads are not that great compared to other LS1 heads, but IMO they are not whats holding you back (MAYBE 10 rwhp at the most).

i'd say that you should get some dyno numbers from a Dynojet with the converter locked, and you should see numbers closer to what you were expecting.
besides for that, how does it run at the track?

As soon as the track opens back up in the Spring I'm going to see what kind of times I can run. Just from driving around town I can tell it's got a ton more power than before the cam and tune. It pulls hard, really hard. My buddy has a 99 cobra and we used to run almost neck to neck before my cam but now I put bus lengths on him, that right there tells me I've got more power. I just wish I could get this low end surging crap gone, the tune helped but didn't eliminate it.

Thanks for the help guys, that makes me feel a little better about the money I spent. I'll get some track numbers in the spring to see for sure where I'm at.
